a change of 10 percent or more from one calendar
quarter to the next, and the price decline and the in-
crease in imports need not be contemporaneous. In

FOR
AFFIRMA-

vided a countervailable subsidy. Rather, if
the imports are a contributing cause of in-
jury to the domestic industry, the Commis-
sion shall make an affirmative determina-
tion, unless the injury caused by the im-
ports is inconsequential, immaterial, or un-
important.’’.

tion that the domestic industry is threat-
ened with material injury by reason of
such imports. For purposes of this clause,

from or is threatened with serious injury by
reason of increased imports, the Commission
shall apply a rebuttable presumption that mate-
rial injury is ongoing for purposes of any 5-year
review under section 751(c) involving the same

whether material injury is likely to continue or
recur if an antidumping or countervailing duty

or the importer and the producer or exporter are af-
filiated persons, an amount equal to the net

heading under the Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the
United States for an agricultural product has a 6- or 8-
digit classification based on the period of time during the
calendar year in which the product is harvested or im-
ported, such periods of time constitute a defined period
