Heading: Choice of Similar Merchandise for FMV to Use in Calculation of Dumping Margin

Text: 80 With respect to Appellant's challenge to the ITA's selection of 300 strength glue sold in the Netherlands as the FMV for comparison with the USP of 250 strength glue in calculating the dumping margin, our decision reversing and remanding for determination of price adjustments based on differences in physical characteristics between the similar glue grades requires a redetermination of FMV after adjustments are made. Thus, the issue whether the ITA's selection of nonadjusted 300 grade glue over nonadjusted 230 grade glue as the FMV for comparison with the USP of 250 grade glue is rendered moot. See Advance Transformer Co. v. Levinson, 837 F.2d 1081, 1084, 5 USPQ2d 1600, 1603 (Fed.Cir.1988); Fonar Corp. v. Johnson and Johnson, 821 F.2d 627, 634, 3 USPQ2d 1109, 1114 (Fed.Cir.1987), cert. denied, 484 U.S. 1027, 108 S.Ct. 751, 98 L.Ed.2d 764 (1988). IV
