Communication from the People's Republic of China 
 
   The following communication, dated 2 October 2006, is being distributed at the request of the delegation of the People's Republic of China.

I. THE USE OF VALUATION METHODS, OTHER THAN THE STATED 
TRANSACTION VALUE 
A. V
ALUATION LEGISLATION  
1. After the promulgation of the Regulations on Import and Ex port Tariff of the People’s 
Republic of China , the General Administration of Customs （GAC）, for the purpose of improvement 
of the customs valuation regi me, promulgated on 28 Mar. 2006  the Rules of the Customs of the 
People’s Republic of China regarding Determina tion on Customs Value of Imported and Exported 
Goods (GAC decree No. 148 of 2006), which annulled the previous Rules of the Customs of the 
People’s Republic of China regarding Determina tion on Customs Value of Imported and Exported 
Goods (GAC decree No. 95 of 2001) and the Rules of the Customs of the People’s Republic of China 
Regarding Determination on Customs Value of Royalties and License Fees Related to the Imported 
Goods (GAC decree No. 102 of 2003). The current custom s valuation regime of China is completely 
consistent with the principles and procedures set forth in the Agreement on Customs Valuation.  
 
B. IMPLEMENTATION   
2. Since its accession, China has been fulfilling its commitments in a faithful manner and abided 
by the Agreements strictly. 95.5% of the customs value was determined by applying transaction value 
in the period from January to August of 2006.   In the cases where the d eclared value cannot be 
accepted as customs value, China customs appraising officers determine the customs value strictly in 
accordance with the principles and provis ions set forth in the Agreement.

delegación del Uruguay.

 I. ENUMERACIÓN DE LAS EMPRESAS COMERCIALES DEL ESTADO 
 La única empresa pública que está comprendida en las disposiciones del artículo XVII del 
GATT de 1994 es la Administración Nacional de Combustibles, Alcohol y Portland (ANCAP).   ANCAP tiene el monopolio de importación y refinación de petróleo crudo y derivados. 
 II. RAZÓN Y OBJETO DE LA CREACIÓN Y MANTENIMIENTO DE LAS EMPRESAS 
COMERCIALES DEL ESTADO 
 El monopolio en relación al petróleo y combustibles derivados fue establecido por 
considerarlos productos estratégicos. 
 
 El monopolio fue establecido por la ley de creación de ANCAP (Ley nacional Nº 8764 del 
15 de octubre de 1931). 
 
III. DESCRIPCIÓN DEL FUNCIONAMIENTO DE LAS EMPRESAS COMERCIALES 
DEL ESTADO 
 ANCAP es una empresa comercial e industrial de l Estado;  su estatuto jurídico es el de un 
Ente Autónomo y se rige por normas de derecho público y no por las normas del derecho comercial 
privado.   El Directorio que dirige la empresa es nom brado por el Poder Ejecutivo con la venia del 
Parlamento y está integr ado por cinco miembros. 
  Los precios de los productos producidos por la empresa los fija el Poder Ejecutivo a propuesta del Directorio de ANCAP.  G/STR/N/14/URY 
Página 2  
 
   Para estos productos al tener ANCAP el monopo lio no existe la posibilidad de importaciones 
o exportaciones por parte de terceros. 
 El volumen de las importaciones de petróleo crudo y sus derivados está determinado por la 
demanda interna.  Para las exportaciones de deri vados del petróleo el volumen depende de la 
competitividad de la empresa y de los saldos disponibles. 
 
 La modalidad de contratos de largo plazo se ha utilizado en algunas oportunidades para el 
abastecimiento de petróleo crudo.

(WT/DS184)  
  
 The United States submits this report in accordance with Article 21.6 of the Understanding on 
Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes . 
  On 23 August 2001, the Dispute Settlement B ody ("DSB") adopted its recommendations and 
rulings in United States – Anti-Dumping Measures on Cert ain Hot-Rolled Steel Products from Japan  
(WT/DS184).  At the following DSB meeting on 10 September 2001, the United States informed the 
DSB of its intention to implement the recommendati ons and rulings of the DSB in connection with 
this matter.     On 22 November 2002, the US Department of Co mmerce issued a new final determination in

of the DSB with respect to the calculation of anti-du mping margins in that investigation.  Details of 
this determination are provided in WT/DS184/15/Add.3.   Legislation that would implement the DSB's re commendations and rulings with respect to the 
US anti-dumping duty statute was introduced in th e last Congress.  The US Administration continues 
to support specific legislative amendments that  would implement the DSB's recommendations and 
rulings in this regard and is working with the new US Congress to pass amendments to this end.
