4 Following the preliminary determination, a clarification was pu blished on 2 September 2010 specifying that the preliminary ant i-dumping duties would be calculated 
on the basis of a reference price. 
5 For imports priced under US$1,772 per metric tonne, an anti-dumping duty equivalent to the difference between the reference pr ice in question and the customs value 
of the goods in US dollars will be applied.  The amount of the anti-dumping duty may not exceed 56 per cent ad valorem  of the customs value.  
6 Price lists based on a market survey were used. 
7 It was decided to pursue the investigation without imposing anti-dumping duties.
