Purchase Price

A statutory term used in dumping investigations to refer to the United
States sales price of merchandise which is sold or likely to be sold prior
to the date of importation, by the producer or reseller of the merchandise
for exportation to the United States. Certain statutory adjustments (e.g.,
import duties, commissions, freight) are made, if appropriate, to permit a
meaningful comparison with the foreign market value of such or similar
merchandise.
