bonus, and overtime pay, training

expenses, and all fringe benefits.

(4) Factory overhead—overhead costs

including indirect materials, indirect

labor, depreciation, and other fixed and

variable expenses attributable to a

production line or factory. Because

overhead costs are typically incurred for

an entire production line, an

appropriate portion of those costs must

be allocated to covered products, as well

as any other products produced on that

line. Acceptable cost allocations can be

based on labor hours or machine hours.

Overhead costs should also reflect any

idle or downtime and be fully absorbed

by the products.

(5) Grinding cost is the cost paid for

the grinding of the product type which

includes transportation to and from the

processor.

(6) Grinding loss is the cost incurred

as a result of product lost in the

grinding process.

B. Cost of Production (‘‘COP’’)

(1) Cost of production is equal to the

sum of materials, labor, and overhead

(‘‘COM’’) plus SG&A expenses in the

home market (‘‘HM’’).

(2) G&A expenses are those expenses

incurred for the operation of the

corporation as a whole and not directly

related to the manufacture of a

particular product. They include

corporate general and administrative

expenses, financing expenses and

research and development expenses.

G&A expenses should be the ratio of the

company’s total G&A expenses relative

to total cost of sales for the most

recently completed fiscal year that

corresponds to the reporting period.

(3) Selling expenses are those

expenses incurred in selling the specific

products in the home market calculated

by product type (‘‘CONNUM’’).

C. Constructed Value (‘‘CV’’)

(1) Constructed value is equal to the

COP plus profit in accordance with

section 773 of the Act.

(2) Profit—HM profit shall be

calculated based on HM sales of sodium

azide, in accordance with 773(e) of the

Act.

(3) Cost of Packing—the cost of

materials, labor and overhead and all

other expenses incidental for preparing

the product for shipment to the U.S. in

accordance with section 773(e).

II. Reporting Cost of Production Data

A. Each signatory shall report costs

for all of the sodium azide products sold

in the United States during the reporting

period including, but not limited to, the

following types: (1) Pharmaceutical

sodium azide, (2) ground airbag sodium

azide, and (3) unground airbag sodium

azide.

B. This information shall be reported

for each sodium azide product in an

electronic file. Additional fields should

be added to the record described below

as necessary. Worksheets should be

submitted showing the calculation of

each of the per unit costs and expenses.

III. NV Based on Constructed Value

(1) For EP NVs, the CV will be

adjusted for packing costs and

differences in direct selling expenses

such as commissions, credit, warranties,

technical services, advertising, and sales

promotion, in accordance with sections

772 and 773 of the Act.

(2) For CEP NVs, the NV will be

calculated in accordance with the

relevant statutory and regulatory

provisions, including sections 772 and

773 of the Act.

(3) Direct selling expenses in either

the U.S. or the home market are

expenses that are incurred as a direct

result of a sale.

(4) Credit expenses are expenses

incurred for the extension of credit to

the HM and U.S. customers.

IV. Calculation of NV Based on

Constructed Value

Normal value for EP transactions will

be calculated for pharmaceutical

sodium azide, unground airbag sodium

azide and ground airbag sodium azide

as follows:

+Overhead Cost

+Grinding Cost (if relevant)
