1. For the purpose of Article 51 of the Act, the term "normal value" means the price of the likeproduct in the ordinary course of trade which is consumed in the country that supplies the product.
However, if the like product is not traded, or if it is impossible to apply the price used in the ordinary
course of trade in such a country because of the particular market situation, etc., then a comparable
price which is representative of the export prices of the like product from such a country to third
countries, or a price that includes the cost of production in the country of origin, a reasonable amount
for administrative and selling costs, and profits (hereinafter referred to as the "constructed value")
shall be considered the normal value.
2. If the product is imported through a third country and not directly from the country of origin,
the price used in the ordinary course of trade in the third country shall be considered the normal value.
However, if the product is simply shipped through or no actual production of the like product takes
place or there is no price that is recognized as the price used in the ordinary course of trade in the third
country, then the price used in the ordinary course of trade in the country of origin shall be consideredthe normal value.

be paid because of special relationship or compensatory arrangements between the supplier and the
importer or a third person as prescribed in Article 23, Paragraph 1 of the Act, then it can be any of the
following prices:
(1) the price as determined by the Ordinance of the Minister of Finance and Economy

purchaser who has no such special relationship, or compensatory arrangement;
