In the absence of transactions, the sale of the same goods in the ordinary course of trading in the foreign country from which the goods are exported, which is the subject of dumped imports, or in the event of a low volume of sales of a similar commodity in the normal course of trade, or because of the special situation in the foreign market from which the goods are exported, which is the subject of dumped imports, it is impossible to properly compare the export price of the goods goods with similar commodity prices, export price of the goods is compared with comparable prices for similar goods exported from a specified foreign country to a third country, provided that the price of a similar product is representative or the cost of producing the goods in the country of its origin, taking into account the necessary administrative, commercial and general costs, as well as profits. Volume of sales of similar goods in the normal course of trading on the foreign market, from which the goods that are the subject of dumped imports are considered sufficient to determine the normal value If this amount is not less than five per cent of the total volume of exports of the goods subject to dumped imports into the customs territory of the Russian Federation from that foreign State.

In the event that the determination of the normal value of the goods in accordance with the provisions of this Part is not possible, the normal value of the goods may be determined on the basis of the price paid or payable for the same item in the case. OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION For the purposes of this part, in determining the normal value of a commodity, a country may be regarded as a country in which market prices are regulated directly by the state or there is a state monopoly of the external trade, in particular on the basis of the following criteria: degree of convertibility of the foreign state from which the product is exported, the subject of the investigation, in international currency markets; intervention by a State in the acceptance of foreign exporters or by foreign producers of the goods subject to investigation, decisions to establish the prices of similar goods, the determination of production costs, the production of goods, the purchase of raw materials, the use of technology, and the level Investment; degree of intervention by a State when foreign exporters of goods are investigated, export pricing decisions and exports; of the State when establishing the level of remuneration of foreign Exporters or foreign producers of the goods under investigation; State influence on the activities of legal entities with foreign participation or investment by foreign legal entities; by persons in the territory of a foreign State from which the goods are exported, the subject of the investigation; the lack of a uniform format for the foreign exporters or foreign producers of the goods under investigation of accounting used for any purpose and Relevant generally accepted accounting and reporting principles and rules. 4.

The comparison between the export price of the goods and its normal value is carried out at the same stage of the trade transaction and in the case of the sale of goods that took place at the same time. When comparing the export price of the goods to its normal cost, they are adjusted to take into account differences that affect the comparability of prices, including differences in conditions and characteristics of supply, taxation, The stages of trade operations, quantitative indicators, physical characteristics, and any other differences in relation to which evidence of their impact on price comparability are presented. In the cases referred to in paragraph 3 of this article, account should be taken of the costs, including duties and taxes paid in the period between the import and the resale of the goods and the profit received. The investigative body is entitled to request the persons concerned to provide the necessary information to ensure that the export price of the goods is properly compared to its normal value. If, when comparing the export price of a commodity with its normal value, it is necessary to convert their values from one currency to another currency, such a conversion is made using the currency rate on the day of the sale of the product. In the event that the sale of foreign currency was directly related to the relevant export of the goods and was carried out for a period of time, the exchange rate used to sell the currency for the term was used. The authority conducting the investigation does not take into account currency fluctuations and provides exporters with at least sixty calendar days to adjust their export prices, taking into account the steady movements of currency rates during the period, covered by the investigation. The existence of a dumping margin during the investigation is determined by comparing the weighted average of the normal value of the commodity with the weighted average prices of all comparable exports of goods or comparisons The value of the goods with the export price of each comparable export. The weighted average normal value of the goods can be compared with the prices of individual exports if the investigating body determines that the export prices of the goods vary significantly between buyers, regions or the period of delivery of the goods, and if there is a basis for such differences to be taken into account in the case of comparing the weighted average normal value of the goods with the weighted average prices of all comparable prices exports of goods or comparison of the normal value of the goods with the export price of each comparable export of goods. 7. If the goods that are the subject of dumped imports are not imported directly from the country of origin but are exported to the customs territory of the Russian Federation from a third country, the export price of such goods is compared with the comparable price of a similar commodity in a foreign country from which the goods are exported, which are the subject of dumped imports. The comparison of the export price of the goods that is the subject of dumped imports may be compared with the same price in the country of origin if the goods are only transferred through a foreign State, from which it is exported to the customs territory of the Russian Federation, or the production of the goods is not carried out in that foreign State or there is no comparable price for the same goods in that foreign State.
