6. Sales not in the ordinary course of trade

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

(1)

Sales of the like product in the domestic market of the exporting country, or sales to a third country at prices below per unit (fixed and variable) cost of production, may be treated as not being in the ordinary course of trade by reason of price, and may be disregarded in determining normal value, only where the Director-General determines that such sales are made—

(a)

within an extended period of time (which generally is twelve months and not less than six months) in substantial quantities; and

(b)

at prices which do not provide for the recovery of all costs within a reasonable period of time.

Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duties

(2)

For the purpose of paragraph (a) of subsection (1), sales below cost shall be considered to be made in substantial quantities, where it is established that—

(a)

the weighted average selling price of the transactions under consideration is below the weighted average cost; or

(b)

the volume of sales below cost represent twenty per centum or more of the volume sold in the transactions under consideration.

(3)

Where prices which are below per unit cost at the time of sale, are above weighted average per unit cost for the period of investigation or review, the Director-General shall consider such prices as providing for the recovery of costs within a reasonable period of time.
