in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This section sets the currency-conversion rule for antidumping proceedings. It also gives exporters time to adjust prices after a sustained currency movement.

(a) In an antidumping proceeding, the administering authority must convert foreign currency to United States dollars using the exchange rate on the subject merchandise’s sale date. If a forward-market currency transaction is directly tied to the export sale, it must use the rate in the forward-sale agreement. It must ignore exchange-rate fluctuations. (b) During a part II investigation, if the foreign currency has moved steadily in value against the dollar, the authority must give exporters at least 60 days to adjust export prices to reflect that sustained movement.

(a) In general

In an antidumping proceeding under this subtitle, the administering authority shall convert foreign currencies into United States dollars using the exchange rate in effect on the date of sale of the subject merchandise, except that, if it is established that a currency transaction on forward markets is directly linked to an export sale under consideration, the exchange rate specified with respect to such currency in the forward sale agreement shall be used to convert the foreign currency. Fluctuations in exchange rates shall be ignored.

(b) Sustained movement in foreign currency value

In an investigation under part II of this subtitle, if there is a sustained movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the United States dollar, the administering authority shall allow exporters at least 60 days to adjust their export prices to reflect such sustained movement.
