Determination of Dumping Margin

requires that all sales which are in the ordinary course of trade (including the OCT
test) and which have passed the sufficiency test (5% test) must be included for the
normal value used for calculating the dumping margin. Similarly, for export sales,
all commercial transactions which are in the normal course of business must be
considered.

14.8. The Dumping Margin should be expressed as a percentage of the net export
price. For this, the DM is divided by Net Export Price. DM is also mentioned in terms
of range (needed for non-confidential version) which should normally be unit of 10.

Dumping Margin = (NV or CNV) – NEP
% Dumping Margin = (DM/NEP) X 100
14.9. The Authority shall determine one single dumping margin for each
cooperating producer exporter irrespective of whether the goods are exported to
India directly or through any intermediary by taking into account the producer’s
normal value (including that of its related producer in the country under investigation)
and the export prices of all the intermediaries. In such cases, the intermediaries
have to file all the relevant information called for by the Designated Authority in
order to complete the chain right upto the independent importer in India. Also, a
separate common dumping margin is worked out for the residual category of
exporter(s), who have not filed response or have responded but declared non-
cooperative.

14.10. The calculation of dumping margin is comparatively simpler, where the
product under consideration is homogeneous, as only one NEP and one NV figure
for the product under consideration needs to be determined.

14.11. In case, the PUC has been sub-divided into distinct models or types, called
product control numbers (PCNs), then NEP and NV for each of the PCN is required
to be determined individually for calculation of dumping margins. This ensures a
fair comparison between the NEP and NV.

14.12. As already pointed above, the NEP and NV are to be worked out separately
for each of the PCNs exported to India by the respective foreign producer/exporter.
There is possibility that some of the exporter(s) would have exported few PCNs, but
have not sold those in their home market during the POI. Notional or Estimated NV
is worked out in such cases based on the most similar product produced & sold in
the home market by such producer exporters. If there is no similar product sold in
