Ma. Meacher: In the cass of market economy countries imported goods are normally regarded as dumped if the export price from the country of origin is less than the price at which the goods are being sold on the hous market. This latter is known as the “fair market price ". Where, as in the
of the Republic of China, the system of trading in the country of origin is such that a fair market price cannot be determined in

If the goods, allegedly dumped, are found investigation to have been exported to this country below-the fair market price and to have caused material injury to the applimat industry, action would be taken to correct the situation.
