THE GOODS UNDER CONSIDERATION
The goods subject to anti-dumping measures, in the form of a dumping duty notice, are:
[h]ot rolled coil (including in sheet form), a flat rolled product of iron or non-alloy steel, not clad, plated or coated (other than oil coated).
Goods excluded from this application are hot rolled products that have patterns in relief (known as checker plate) and plate products.
There are a number of relevant international standards for hot rolled coil steel that cover the range of products via specific grade designations, including the recommended or guaranteed properties of each of these product grades. The relevant Australian Standard is AS/NZS 1594.
Hot rolled sheet that is 4.75 millimetres (mm) thick or more is considered to be plate and is therefore not covered by the notice. Hot rolled sheet that is below 4.75mm thick is included within the goods description.

5. Do your accounting practices differ in any way from the generally accepted accounting principles in your country? If so, provide details.

CSC's financial accounting policy and practices are in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") practiced in Taiwan, ROC.
According to the requirement of Taiwan Financial Supervisory Committee, starting 2013, Taiwan GAAP amended its standards to be in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) Interpretations (hereinafter referred to as "IFRSs").
6. Describe the significant accounting policies that govern your system of accounting, in particular:
- the method of valuation for raw material, work-in-process, and finished goods inventories (e.g. last in first out –LIFO, first in first out- FIFO, weighted average);
CSC uses the weighted average method in valuing inventory of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods.
10
PUBLIC VERSION
- costing methods, including the method (e.g. by tonnes, units, revenue, direct costs etc.) of allocating costs shared with other goods or processes (such as front office cost, infrastructure cost etc.);
When the production process involves more than one product, total costs incurred are allocated to the different products by the output quantity (by metric tons) of each product.
- valuation methods for damaged or sub-standard goods generated at the various stages of production;
In CSC's cost accounting system, total manufacturing cost is allocated only to prime products. Non-prime products, including secondary, salvage and scrap, are valued at their standard cost, and then deducted from the total manufacturing cost at their recovery value.
- valuation methods for scrap, by products, or joint products;
Scraps are valued at standard cost (based on the prevailing market price minus the estimated selling, general and administration expenses), and their recovery value is deducted from total input cost.
Certain non-steel goods were generated during the production process of CSC's primary products -- i.e., steel products, and CSC treated them as by-products. The cost of by-products are determined by standard costs.
CSC does not have joint products.
- valuation and revaluation methods for fixed assets;
Property, plant and equipment, except for land, are stated at cost or cost plus revaluation increment less accumulated depreciation. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets. Major additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized, while costs of maintenance and repairs are expensed currently.
Spare parts are intended for use in the repairs of machinery and equipment. Depreciation of major spare parts is calculated by the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life of the supported equipment or their own useful lives. Depreciation of rollers is calculated based on their level of wear.
- average useful life for each class of production equipment and depreciation method and rate used for each;
Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the useful life of equipment and assets as follows:
• land improvements - 7 to 40 years;
• buildings and improvement - 3 to 60 years;
• machinery and equipment - 2 to 25 years;
• transportation equipment - 5 to 20 years; and
11
PUBLIC VERSION
• other equipment - 3 to 10 years.
Please also refer to pages 36-37 of Exhibit A-4-3-b (1) for CSC's audited financial statements for 2016 and 2015.
Except that depreciation of the rollers (spare parts) is calculated based on their level of wear, other depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives.
When a property reaches its residual value but is still in use, its residual value is depreciated over its re-estimated useful life.
- treatment of foreign exchange gains and losses arising from transactions;
Non-derivative foreign-currency transactions are recorded in functional currency at the rates of exchange in effect when the transaction occur. Exchange differences arising from settlement of foreign-currency assets and liabilities are recognized in the profit or loss account.
- treatment of foreign exchange gains/losses arising from the translation of balance sheet items;
At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are revalued using prevailing exchange rates and the exchange differences are recognized in the profit or loss account.
- inclusion of general expenses and/or interest;
CSC does not capitalize general and administrative expenses. Interest expenses associated with the acquisition of machinery and other fixed assets are capitalized. Capitalized interest expenses would become part of the fixed asset values and depreciated by the same method and same useful life as that of the acquired machinery / fixed assets.
- provisions for bad or doubtful debts;
The allowance for doubtful accounts was recognized based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to the account aging analysis, past default experience of the customers and analysis of customers’ current financial position. In determining the recoverability of notes and accounts receivable, the corporation considered any change in the credit quality of the notes and accounts receivable since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. If not collected after demanding, the past due notes and accounts receivable would be fully recognized with allowance for doubtful accounts.
CSC had not recognized an allowance for some notes receivable and accounts receivable that are past due at the balance sheet date (December 31, 2016) because there had not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered recoverable.
- expenses for idle equipment and/or plant shut-downs;
12
PUBLIC VERSION
Not applicable. This expense does not occur to CSC.
- costs of plant closure;
Not applicable. CSC did not close its facility.
- restructuring costs;
Not applicable. CSC did not conduct any reconstruction.
- by-products and scrap materials resulting from your company’s production process; and
Scraps and by-products are valued at standard cost, and their recovery value is deducted from total input cost.
- effects of inflation on financial statement information.
Not applicable.
7. In the event that any of the accounting methods used by your company have changed over the last two years provide an explanation of the changes, the date of change, and the reasons for it.
No. CSC's accounting methods did not change during the last two years.

As stated in above response to A-3.8, during the POR, CGST purchased small quantity of hot-rolled products from CSC and subcontracted the same for cutting and slitting process to produce hot-rolled sheets and hot-rolled strips. These hot-rolled sheets and strips were then resold by CSGT during the POR.
Therefore, given its almost wholly-owned status, CSGT's Australia sales have been consolidated in CSC’s Exhibit B-4 Australia Sales, and we have added the column "Exporter" therein to indicate the exporter of record of these transactions was CSGT.

Freight allocations must be checked for consistency.
* All of these costs are explained further in Section E-1.

For product coding information, please refer to Section C.
As stated above in Section A, CSGT's Australia sales have been consolidated in CSC's Exhibit B-4 Australia Sales, and we have added a column "Sales Company" therein to indicate the exporter of these transactions. For the company reported in the column "Sales Company" it is reported based on the company which issued the commercial invoice. Therefore, it will be either CSC or CSGT.
B-5 If there are any other costs, charges or expenses incurred in respect of the exports listed above that have not been identified in the table above, add a column (see ‘other factors’ in question B-4) for each item, and provide a description of each item. For example, other selling expenses (direct or indirect) incurred in relation to the export sales to Australia.
Except the expenses reported in Exhibit B-4, CSC does not have other costs, charges or expenses incurred in respect of the exports.
For those transactions with CSGT as sales company, in addition to the expenses incurred by CSC, the following four columns are added to Exhibit B-4 to report the expenses incurred by CSGT:
a. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX,
b. XXXXXXXXXXXX,
c. XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, and
d. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
B-6 For each type of discount, rebate or allowance offered on export sales to Australia:
- provide a description; and
- explain the terms and conditions that must be met by the importer to obtain the discount.
Where the amounts of these discounts, rebates etc. are not identified on the sales invoice, explain how you calculated the amount shown in your response to question B-4. If they vary by customer, or level, provide an explanation.
No discounts, rebates or allowances were offered by CSC on export sales to Australia.
B-7 If you have issued credit notes (directly or indirectly) to customers in Australia in relation to the invoices listed in the detailed transaction by transaction listing in your response to question B-4, provide details of each credit note if the credited amount has not been reported as a discount or rebate.
No credit notes were issued by CSC on export sales to Australia.

Also, please refer to the two sample mill certificates provided with Exhibit B-9-a (at pages 13-15) and Exhibit B-9-b (at page 12).
For sales purposes, CSC applies the product codes system for the goods, which
consists of 6 digits and is used by sales departments. CSC uses the same coding system for export sales and sales in the home market.
For production control, cost accounting and inventory records, the internal production codes are called “IP” codes. The IP coding system (a 5-digit system) with the explanation for the goods thereof is provided in Exhibit C-1.
Product codes of 6 digits and IP codes of 5 digits are both reported In Exhibits B-4 and D-4.
C-2 List each type of goods exported to Australia (these types should cover all types listed in worksheet ‘Australian sales’ – see Section B of this questionnaire).
For column "Model", CSC assigned the product control number (PCN) in order to properly demonstrate the likeness and similarity among various hot-rolled products which were sold in Australian and domestic market. The product control numbers consist of the following 5 parameters:

SECTION D DOMESTIC SALES
This section seeks information about the sales arrangements and prices in the domestic market of the country of export.
All domestic sales made during the review period must be listed transaction by transaction. If there is an extraordinarily large volume of sales data and you are unable to provide the complete listing electronically, you must contact the Case Manager beforecompleting the questionnaire. If the Case Manager agrees that it is not possible to obtain a complete listing, he or she will consider a method for sampling that meets the Commission’s requirements. If agreement cannot be reached as to the appropriate method, the Commission may not visit your company.
The Commission will normally take the invoice date as being the date of sale in order to determine which sales fall within the review period.
If, in response to question B-4 (Sales to Australia, Export Price), you have reported that the date of sale is not the invoice date, and you consider that an alternative date should be used when comparing domestic and export prices, you must provide information on domestic selling prices for a matching period - even if doing so means that such domestic sales data predates the commencement of the review period.
If you do not have any domestic sales of like goods, you must contact the Case Manager who will explain the information that the Commission requires for determining a normal value using alternative methods.
D-1 Provide:
- a detailed description of your distribution channels to domestic customers, including a diagram if appropriate;
CSC sells the goods in the domestic market mainly via two channels:
• to traders who purchase for resale,;
• to end users.
Please see Exhibit D-1 for a chart showing distribution channels and indicating delivery and payment terms.
- information concerning the functions/activities performed by each party in the distribution chain; and
Traders will on-sell the goods, primarily to end users. End users will use the goods in production activities.
For the two categories of customers, CSC conducts similar selling activities and services, such as warranty service and delivery arrangement.
- a copy of any agency or distributor agreements, or contracts entered into.
CSC has not entered into any agency or distributor agreement with its customers, thus this question is not applicable.
If any of the customers listed are associated with your business, provide details of that association. Describe the effect, if any, that this association has on the price.
26
PUBLIC VERSION
CSC's terms of sale and prices do not vary as between affiliated and unaffiliated customers.
D-2 Do your domestic selling prices vary according to the distribution channel identified? If so, provide details. Real differences in trade levels are characterised by consistent and distinct differences in functions and prices.
No, CSC's prices do not vary by channels of distribution. CSC's prices are mainly based on steel type, grade, specifications, volume and delivery schedule.
D-3 Explain in detail the sales process, including:
- the way in which you set the price, receive orders, make delivery, invoice customers and finally receive payment;
CSC uses two types of price lists in making domestic sales. The first is a price list with base steel prices ("the base price list"). The second is an additional mark-up price guideline which accounts for the various specification, dimension and type differences that can apply to any particular order ("additional mark-ups schedule / price extra schedule").
Price lists for the domestic market are issued in:
• From 2017---
February, May, August and November - for the next quarter (that is, the price set in May 2017 is for the goods scheduled to be shipped during July through September 2017)
• For 2016 Q4----
the price set in August for the first two months of the 4th quarter of 2016 and the price set in October 2016 is for December 2016 shipments.
The price lists do not differentiate between customers.
Following the determination of the base price for the period, the sales process is initiated by way of CSC issuing a transaction note to its customers, which informs the customer of the prices that will apply during the period to the specific product groups ordered by the customer in the previous quarter and the projected quantity. The customer considers this note for the purposes of deciding what it has ordered, and what it will need to order for the coming period. If the estimates are acceptable, it will then confirm the transaction note with CSC.
Then the customer uses CSC's e-commerce system to set out the requested specification, quantity and delivery schedule. CSC will issue the customer a rolling sales contract based on the order. CSC then begins to process the internal sales orders. The rolling sales contract for the applicable period will be updated if the customer makes further orders through the CSC e-commerce system.
27
PUBLIC VERSION
Once production is finished and the relevant goods are ready for delivery, CSC notifies its customer, and a delivery note will be issued. When the product is shipped, CSC issues its invoice – in the form of the standard Taiwanese invoice, i.e., Government Uniform Invoice (referred to as a "GUI") to its customer.
Please see Exhibit D-3-a for a flowchart setting out the sales process for domestic market.
- the terms of the sales; and
- whether price includes the cost of delivery to customer.
If the customer requires CSC to arrange delivery, CSC adds the inland freight to the goods value and the total value would then be shown on the invoice.
If sales are in accordance with price lists, provide copies of the price lists.
As explained above, sales are partly made in accordance with the based price list and additional mark-ups schedule. Please see Exhibit D-3-b for a summary of base prices and sample additional mark-ups schedule in POR.
D-4 Prepare the worksheet titled ‘domestic sales’ listing all sales of like goods made during the review period. Include all of the following information:
Column heading ExplanationCustomer name names of your customers. If an English version of the name is not easily

SECTION E FAIR COMPARISON
Section B sought information about the export prices to Australia and Section D sought information about prices on your domestic market for like goods (i.e. the normal value).
Where the normal value and the export price are not comparable, adjustments may be made. This section informs you of the fair comparison principle and asks you to quantify the amount of any adjustment.
As prices are being compared, the purpose of the adjustments is to eliminate factors that have unequally modified the prices to be compared.
To be able to quantify the level of any adjustment, it will usually be necessary to examine cost differences between sales in different markets. The Commission must be satisfied that those costs are likely to have influenced price. In practice, this means that the expense item for which an adjustment is claimed should have a close nexus to the sale. For example, the cost is incurred because of the sale, or because the cost is related to the sale terms and conditions.
Conversely, where there is not a direct relationship between the expense item and the sale a greater burden is placed upon the claimant to demonstrate that prices have been affected, or are likely to have been affected, by the expense item. In the absence of such evidence, the Commission may disallow the adjustment.
Where possible, the adjustment should be based upon actual costs incurred when making the relevant sales. However, if specific expense information is unavailable, cost allocations may be considered. In this case, the party making the adjustment claim must demonstrate that the allocation method reasonably estimates costs incurred.
A party seeking an adjustment has the obligation to substantiate the claim by relevant evidence that would allow a full analysis of the circumstances, and the accounting data, relating to the claim.
The review must be completed within strict time limits, therefore you must supply information concerning claims for adjustments in a timely manner. Where an exporter has knowledge of the material substantiating an adjustment claim, that material is to be available at the time of the verification visit. The Commission will not consider new claims made after the verification visit.
E-1 Costs associated with export sales
These cost adjustments will relate to your responses made at question B-4, ‘Australian sales’.
1. Transportation
Explain how you have quantified the amount of inland transportation associated with the export sale (‘inland transportation costs’). Identify the general ledger account where the expense is located. If the amount has been determined from contractual arrangements, not from an account item, provide details and evidence of payment.
32
PUBLIC VERSION
The inland freight has been reported on an actual basis and allocated by quantity for the goods shipped in the same shipment.
The general ledger account for the expenses associated with export sales is provided in Exhibit E-1-2.
2. Handling, loading and ancillary expenses
List all charges that are included in the export price, and explain how they have been quantified (‘handling, loading & ancillary expenses’). Identify the general ledger account where the expenses are located. If the amounts have been determined using actual observations, not from a relevant account item, provide details.
The various export related ancillary costs are identified in the table at question B-4, for example:
- terminal handling;
- wharfage and other port charges;
- container taxes;
- document fees and customs brokers fees;
- clearance fees;
- bank charges, letter of credit fees; and
- other ancillary charges.
Please see Exhibit E-1-2 for the list of the handling, loading & ancillary expenses and the relevant general ledger accounts. All these expenses are reported separately in
Exhibit B-4 as follows:
(a) Brokerage expense
The brokerage expenses are reported on an actual basis. These expenses were allocated to each product type included in the same shipment by quantity.
(b) Harbour service fee (charged by government)
The harbour service fee is reported on an actual basis. For CSC, the harbour service fee rate was NTDXX per ton (bulk cargo) after rounding.
(c) Trade promotion fee (charged by government)
The trade promotion fee was reported on an actual basis, i.e. 0.04% of the FOB value of the export goods allocated to each product type included in the same shipment by quantity.
The 0.04% rate had been issued by Taiwan government and remained
33
PUBLIC VERSION
unchanged since 2006.
(d) Loading fee
The loading fee includes wharfage, (ie, the amount charged for wharf passage and longshoring) and stevedoring (ie, the amount charged for hooking the cargo from trucks). The loading fee is reported on an actual basis, allocated to each product type included in the same shipment by weight.
(e) Survey fee
The total survey fee was reported for each shipment.
(f) Bank charge
CSC’s terms of payment for its Australian sales are XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX. In line with these terms, CSC incurs a few miscellaneous expenses, including XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX, reported separately in Columns 36.1, 36.2 and 36.3 respectively.
Such actual bank charge is then allocated to all goods included in the same shipment by value, as this expense is incurred based on value.
3. Credit
The cost of extending credit on export sales is not included in the amounts quantified at question B-4. However, the Commission will examine whether a credit adjustment is warranted and determine the amount. Provide applicable interest rates over each month of the review period. Explain the nature of the interest rates most applicable to these export sales, e.g. short term borrowing in the currency concerned.
If your accounts receivable shows that the average number of collection days differs from the payment terms shown in the sales listing, and if export prices are influenced by this longer or shorter period, calculate the average number of collection days. See also item 4 in Section E-2 below.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. The payment term of all of CSC's Australian sales during the POR was XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
CSC provides applicable monthly USD short-term borrowing rate as instructed in Exhibit E-1-3.
4. Packing costs
List material and labour costs associated with packing the export product. Describe how the packing method differs from sales on the domestic market, for each model. Report the amount in the listing in the column headed ‘packing’.
34
PUBLIC VERSION
Packing materials and labour costs are recorded in factory overheads. Packing is nearly the same for domestic sales as for Australian sales, and there are practically no differences in packing cost between those two types of sales. Therefore, CSC did not report packing costs as an adjustment item.
5. Commissions
For any commissions paid in relation to the export sales to Australia:
- provide a description; and
- explain the terms and conditions that must be met.
Report the amount in the sales listing in question B-4 under the column headed ‘commissions’. Identify the general ledger account where the expense is located.
According to the commission agency agreement XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX provided in Exhibits A-3-8(3), XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, and the fee was reported in column 35.2.
As stated above, CSGT play the selling arms for CSC’s export sales assisting CSC to locate overseas customers and prepare documents. For such export service, CSC will pay CSGT XXX % XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX. CSC has reported the service fee charged by CSGT in the column 37 “Service Fee Paid to CSGT”.
6. Warranties, guarantees and after sales services
List the costs incurred. Show the relevant sales contracts. Show how you calculated the expenses (‘warranty & guarantee expenses’ and ‘technical assistance & other services’), including the basis of any allocations. Include a record of expenses incurred. Technical services include costs for the service, repair or consultation. Where these expenses are closely related to the sales in question, an adjustment will be considered. Identify the ledger account where the expense is located.
Not applicable.
7. Other factors
There may be other factors for which an adjustment is required, if the costs affect price comparability – these are identified in the column headed ‘other factors’. For example, other variable or fixed selling expenses, including salesmen’s salaries, salesmen’s travel expenses, advertising and promotion, samples and entertainment expenses. Your consideration of questions asked at Section G, concerning domestic and export costs, would have alerted you to such other factors.
For CSGT's Australia sales which have been consolidated in Exhibit B-4 Australia Sales, the expenses incurred by CSGT are reported separately. The following four columns are reported in the Exhibit B-4:
a. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

b. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX c. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and d. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. The calculation worksheet for XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is provided in Exhibit E-1.7.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
8. Currency conversions
In comparing export and domestic prices, a currency conversion is required. Fluctuations in exchange rates can only be taken into account when there has been a ‘sustained’ movement during the period of review (see article 2.4.1 of the World Trade Organization Anti-Dumping Agreement). The purpose is to allow exporters 60 days to adjust export prices to reflect ‘sustained’ movements. Such a claim requires detailed information on exchange movements in your country over a long period that includes the review period.
Not applicable. CSC does not claim a currency conversion adjustment.
E-2 Costs associated with domestic sales
These cost adjustments will relate to your responses made at question D-4, ‘domestic sales’.
The following items are not separately identified in the amounts quantified at question D-4. However, you should consider whether any are applicable.
1. Physical characteristics
This adjustment recognises that differences, such as quality, chemical composition, structure or design, mean that goods are not identical, and the differences can be quantified in order to ensure fair comparison.
The amount of the adjustment shall be based on the market value of the difference, but where this is not possible the adjustment shall be based on the difference in cost plus the gross profit mark-up, i.e. an amount for selling, general and administrative costs (SG&A) plus profit.
The adjustment is based upon actual physical differences in the goods being compared, and upon the manufacturing cost data. Identify the physical differences between each model, and state the source of your data.
The model numbers in the Australian sales and domestic sales spread sheets can be directly matched, therefore no specification adjustment will be necessary.
2. Import charges and indirect taxes
36
PUBLIC VERSION
If exports to Australia:
- are partially or fully exempt from internal taxes and duties that are borne by the like goods in domestic sales (or on the materials and components physically incorporated in the goods); or
- if such internal taxes and duties have been paid and are later remitted upon exportation to Australia,
the price of like goods must be adjusted downwards by the amount of the taxes and duties.
The taxes and duties include sales, excise, turnover, value added, franchise, stamp, transfer, border and excise taxes. Direct taxes, such as corporate income tax, are not included as such taxes do not apply to the transactions.
Adjustment for drawback is not made in every situation where drawback has been received. Where an adjustment for drawback is appropriate, you must provide information showing the import duty borne by the domestic sales (that is, it is not sufficient to show the drawback amount and the export sales quantity to Australia). For example, you may calculate the duty borne on domestic sales by quantifying the total amount of import duty paid and subtracting the duty refunded on exports to all countries. The difference, when divided by the domestic sales volume, is the amount of the adjustment.
In substantiating the drawback claim the following information is required:
- a copy of the relevant statutes/regulations authorising duty exemption, or remission, translated into English;
- the amount of the duties and taxes refunded upon exportation, and an explanation as to how the amounts were calculated and apportioned to the exported goods; and
- an explanation as to how you calculated the amount of duty payable on imported materials that is borne by the goods sold domestically, but is not borne by the exports to Australia.
Substitution drawback systems
Annex 3 of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures provides:
[d]rawback systems can allow for the refund or drawback of import duties on inputs which are consumed in the production process of another product and where the export of this latter product contains domestic inputs having the same quality and characteristics as those substituted for the imported inputs.
If such a scheme operates in the country of export, adjustments can also be made for the drawback payable on the substituted domestic materials, provided the total amount of the drawback does not exceed the total duty paid.
Not applicable. No tax exemption or drawback applies.
37
PUBLIC VERSION
3. Level of trade
Question D-4 asks you to indicate the level of trade to the domestic customer. To claim an adjustment for level of trade differences, you will need to quantify the amount by which level of trade influences price.
Trade level is the level a company occupies in the distribution chain. The trade level to which that company in turn sells the goods, and the functions carried out, distinguish a level of trade. Examples are producer, national distributor, regional distributor, wholesaler, retailer, end user and original equipment.
It may not be possible to compare export prices and domestic prices at the same level of trade. Where relevant sales of like goods at the next level of trade must be used to determine normal values, an adjustment for the difference in level of trade may be required (where it is shown that the difference affects price comparability).
The information needs to establish that there are real trade level differences, not merely nominal differences. Real trade level differences are characterised by a consistent pattern of price differences between the levels, and by a difference in functions performed. If there is no real trade level differences, all sales are treated as being at the same level of trade.
A real difference in level of trade may be adjusted for using either of the following methods:
(a) costs arising from different functions
The amount of the costs, expenses etc. incurred by the seller in domestic sales of the like goods resulting from activities that would not be performed were the domestic sales made at the same level as that of the importer.
This requires the following information:
- a detailed description of each sales activity performed in selling to your domestic customers (for example, sales personnel, travel, advertising, entertainment etc.);
- the cost of carrying out these activities in respect of like goods;
- for each activity, whether your firm carries out the same activity when selling to importers in Australia; and
- an explanation as to why you consider that you are entitled to a level of trade adjustment.
OR
(b) level discount
38
PUBLIC VERSION
The amount of the discount granted to purchasers who are at the same level of trade as the importer in Australia. This is determined by an examination of price differences between the two levels of trade in the exporter’s domestic market, for example sales of like goods by other vendors, or sales of the same general category of goods by the exporter. For this method to be used, it is important that a clear pattern of pricing be established for the differing trade levels. Such a pattern is demonstrated by a general availability of the discounts to the level (isolated instances would not establish a pattern of availability).
Not applicable. There are no relevant trade level differences and no adjustment is necessary or claimed.
4. Credit
The cost of extending credit on domestic sales is not included in the amounts quantified at question D-4. However, the Commission will examine whether a credit adjustment is warranted and determine the amount. An adjustment for credit is to be made even if funds are not borrowed to finance the accounts receivable.
The interest rate on domestic sales (in order of preference) is:
- the rate, or average of rates, applying on actual short term borrowings by the company; or
- the prime interest rate prevailing for commercial loans in the country for credit terms that most closely approximate the credit terms on which the sales were made; or
- such other rate considered appropriate in the circumstances.
Provide the applicable interest rate over each month of the review period.
If your accounts receivable shows that the average number of collection days differs from the payment terms shown in the sales listing, and if domestic prices are influenced by this longer or shorter period, calculate the average number of collection days.
Where there is no fixed credit period agreed at the time of sale, the period of credit is determined on the facts available. For example, where payment is made using an open account system,1 the average credit period may be determined as follows:
(a) calculate an accounts receivable turnover ratio
This ratio equals total credit sales divided by the average accounts receivable. It is a measure of how many times the average receivables balance is converted into cash during the year.
1 Under an open account system, following payment the balance of the amount owing is carried into the next period. Payment amounts may vary from one period to the next, with the result that the amount owing varies.
39
PUBLIC VERSION
In calculating the accounts receivable turnover ratio, credit sales should be used in the numerator whenever the amount is available from the financial statements. Otherwise net sales revenue may be used in the numerator.
An average accounts receivable over the year is used in the denominator. This may be calculated by:
- using the opening accounts receivable at the beginning of the period, plus the closing accounts receivable at the end of period divided by two; or
- the total monthly receivables divided by 12.
(b) calculate the average credit period
The average credit period equals 365 divided by the accounts receivable turnover ratio determined above at (a).
The resulting average credit period should be tested against randomly selected transactions to support the approximation.
The following items are identified in the amounts quantified at question D-4:
Credit terms have been identified in CSC’s domestic sales spread sheet in Exhibit D-4.
Please see Exhibit E-2-4 for POR average interest rate on NTD short-term borrowing.
CSC reported the credit expense by multiplying the number of days indicated by payment term first by the net invoice price, and then by the average NTD short-term borrowing interest rate during the POR, and then divided by 365 days:
Imputed credit expense= Net invoice price * the average interest rate of short-term borrowings * days indicated by agreed payment term / 365
5. Transportation
Explain how you have quantified the amount of inland transportation associated with the domestic sales (‘inland transportation costs’). Identify the general ledger account where the expense is located. If the amount has been determined from contractual arrangements, not from an account item, provide details and evidence of payment.
CSC has reported inland transportation costs on an actual basis.
The general ledger account is 623530750, inland freight-direct selling expense.
6. Handling, loading and ancillary expenses
40
PUBLIC VERSION
List all charges that are included in the domestic price and explain how they have been quantified (‘handling, loading and ancillary expenses’). Identify the general ledger account where the expense is located. If the amounts have been determined using actual observations, not from a relevant account item, provide details.
Not applicable.
7. Packing
List the material and labour costs associated with packing the domestically sold product. Describe how the packing method differs from sales on the domestic market, for each model. Report the amount in the listing in the column headed ‘packing’.
Please see response to E-1.4 above.
8. Commissions
For any commissions paid in relation to the domestic sales:
- provide a description; and
- explain the terms and conditions that must be met.
Report the amount in the sales listing under the column headed ‘commissions’. Identify the general ledger account where the expense is located.
According to the commission agency agreement XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX provided in Exhibits A-3-8(3), XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, and the fee was reported in Exhibit D-4 Domestic Sales accordingly.
9. Warranties, guarantees and after sales services
List the costs incurred. Show the relevant sales contracts. Show how you calculated the expenses (‘warranty & guarantee expenses’ and ‘technical assistance & other services’), including the basis of any allocations. Include a record of expenses incurred. Technical services include costs for service, repair or consultation. Where these expenses are closely related to the sales in question, an adjustment will be considered. Identify the ledger account where the expense is located.
CSC reported the warranty amount in the column of "Warranty" (Reason Code B3).
When a customer makes a claim for defective merchandise, CSC will have its personnel to determine the quantity and value of the defective merchandise. Based on this assessment, CSC will provide credit notes to resolve warranty issues and the customer will receive a refund of the price paid for the affected tonnage as compensation.
For reporting warranty in Exhibit D-4 Domestic Sales, CSC takes the following steps:
41
PUBLIC VERSION
(1) CSC first pulled out all warranty expenses incurred the POR. (A)
(2) CSC summarized the sales quantities of the concerned customers relating to warranty for prime, non-overrun goods in Exhibit D-4 Domestic Sales.(B)
(3) Take (A) to be divided by (B) to arrive at the unit warranty for each concerned customer.(C)
(4) Take unit warranty (C) to multiply the sales quantities of the transactions of the relevant customers to reach the warranty amount reported in Exhibit D-4 Domestic Sales.
Please refer to Exhibit E-2-9 for the allocation worksheet for warranty. A sample warranty record, including the debit note, is also provided in Exhibit E-2-9.
Please note that there is no separate account for warranty expenses in CSC's accounting ledgers. The refund would be recorded under "XXXXXXXX" as a deduction in sales with the reason code of "B3" or "B5". Please refer to Exhibit D-6-b for a list of reason codes.
10. Other factors
There may be other factors for which an adjustment is required, if the costs affect price comparability – these are identified in the column headed ‘other factors’. List the factors, and show how each has been quantified in per unit terms. For example:
- inventory carrying cost: describe how the products are stored prior to sale, and show data relating to the average length of time in inventory. Indicate the interest rate used;
- warehousing expense: an expense incurred at the distribution point;
- royalty and patent fees: describe each payment as a result of production or sale, including the key terms of the agreement;
- advertising; and
- bad debt.
In the time available CSC has done its best to identify costs, charges or expenses which would need to be considered for adjustment purposes. CSC reserves the right to present further information before or during the verification process if such information is properly identified.
E-3 Duplication
In calculating the amount of the adjustments, you must ensure there is no duplication. For example:
- adjustments for level of trade, quantity or other discounts may overlap; or
42
PUBLIC VERSION
- calculation of the amount of the difference for level of trade may be based on selling expenses (such as salesperson’s salaries, promotion expenses, commissions and travel expenses).
Separate adjustment items must avoid duplication.
An adjustment for quantities may not be granted unless the effect on prices for quantity differences is identified and separated from the effect on prices for level of trade differences.
Not applicable. No duplication is evident.

SECTION G COSTING INFORMATION AND CONSTRUCTED VALUE
The information that you supply in response to this section of the questionnaire will be used for various purposes including:
- testing the profitability of sales of like goods on the domestic market;
- determining a constructed normal value of the goods subject to measures – i.e. of the goods exported to Australia; and
- making certain adjustments to the normal value.
You will need to provide the cost of production of both the exported goods (the goods) and for the like goods sold on the domestic market. You will also need to provide the SG&A expenses relating to goods sold on the domestic market, the finance expenses, and any other expenses (e.g. non-operating expenses not included elsewhere) associated with the goods.
In your response please include a worksheet showing how the SG&A expenses, the finance expenses, and any other expenses have been calculated.
If, in response to question B-4 (Sales to Australia, Export Price) you:
- reported that the date of sale is not the invoice date, and consider that an alternative date should be used when comparing domestic and export prices; and
- provided information on domestic selling prices for a matching period as required in the introduction to Section D (Domestic Sales),
you must provide cost data over the same period as these sales, even if doing so means that such cost data predates the commencement of the review period.
At any verification visit you must be prepared to reconcile the costs shown to the accounting records used to prepare the financial statements.
CSC has provided Australian sales and domestic sales data during the POR in response to questions B4 and D4. The date of sale for both domestic and Australian sales is reported as the invoice date.
As further explained below, in order to provide the Commission with a product cost that is differentiated by the model to reflect different characteristics, CSC relied on the internal Standard Product Cost Detailed Analysis (“SPC”) system, the mechanism used in the company’s management system.

G-1 Describe the production process for the goods. Provide a flowchart of the process. Include details of all products manufactured using the same production facilities as those used for the goods. Also specify all scrap or by-products that result from producing the goods.
CSC is an integrated steel mill. As shown in CSC’s production process flow chart, http://www.csc.com.tw/csc_e/pd/prs.htm, (1) coal and (2) iron ore are the very beginning inputs to coke oven plant and sinter plant respectively. The first output is molten hot metal using the raw materials iron ore and coal in an iron-making production process. After the iron making process, CSC produces slab through a steel making process via CSC’s basic oxygen furnaces, in which oxygen is blown through molten hot metal to convert the hot metal into liquid steel, which is then cast into slabs. Then hot strip mill is in charge of rolling steel slab into hot-rolled products, the goods.
Please see Exhibit G-1-a and Exhibit G-1-b for the detailed production flowchart directly relating to the goods.
In the production lines of hot-rolled products, no by-products were generated. Steel scraps are reintroduced into the production cycle as raw material.
G-2 Provide information about your company's total production in the following table:
PREVIOUS FINANCIAL YEAR
MOST RECENT FINANCIAL YEAR
REVIEW PERIOD
A – production capacity (e.g. kg, tonnes)*
B – actual production volume (e.g. kg, tonnes)
C – capacity utilisation (%) (B/A x 100)
46
PUBLIC VERSION
* Rather than showing a ‘name-plate’ optimal capacity, it is more meaningful to show the maximum level of production that may reasonably be attained under normal operating conditions. For example, assuming normal levels of maintenance and repair, a number of shifts and hours of operation that is not abnormally high, and a typical production mix.
Provide this information in the worksheet titled ‘production’.
Please see Exhibit G-2 CSC's and DSC’s Production Spreadsheet.
G-3 Cost accounting practices
1. Outline the management accounting system that you maintain, and explain how that cost accounting information is reconciled to your audited financial statements.
CSC adopts a "processing costing system" in its ordinary cost accounting. CSC normally accumulates and records actual production costs by a processing cost methodology for the goods.
CSC's cost accounting system is an integral part of its financial accounting system used for the financial statements, and can be reconciled to audited financial statements.
2. Is your company’s cost accounting system based on standard (i.e. budgeted) costs? State whether standard costs were used in your responses to this questionnaire. If they were, state whether all variances (i.e. differences between standard and actual production costs) have been allocated to the goods, and describe how those variances have been allocated.
CSC's cost accounting system is based on actual costs. However, for cost recording purposes during the month, CSC would first record the cost by a standard cost (for a given product group or category), and then adjusted it at the end of the month to the actual cost by applying variance ratios when doing monthly closing. Therefore, CSC's production cost and inventory costs reflect the actual costs.
3. Provide details of any significant or unusual cost variances that occurred during the review period.
Not applicable. There were no significant or unusual cost variances that occurred during the POR.
4. Describe the profit/cost centres in your company’s cost accounting system.
Please see Exhibit G-3-4 for the list of direct and indirect cost centres in relation to the goods.
In CSC's cost accounting system, a cost centre is the basic cost collection unit. There are 3 types of cost centres in CSC:
• Producing Cost Centre - converts raw material or semi-finished material into product, which may be for captive use or for sale, such as for the hot strip mill which uses slabs as inputs to produce hot-rolled bands.
• Service Cost Centre - renders services to other cost centres, e.g.: the maintenance unit provides various machining and repair services, and the utility
47
PUBLIC VERSION
department provides various water and electricity services. Costs incurred by service cost centres are charged to the recipient cost centre.
• Auxiliary Cost Centre - provides services to a specific producing cost centre, e.g. the roll unit provides roll and guide design services to the rolling mill cost centre.
5. For each profit/cost centre, describe in detail the methods that your company normally uses to allocate costs to the goods. In particular, specify how, and over what period, expenses are amortised or depreciated, and how allowances are made for capital expenditures and other development costs.
In CSC's ordinary cost accounting system, costs are tracked and cumulated at cost centres on an aggregate, actual basis and by the processing cost method, i.e., one average cost for the product produced at a given cost centre. A group of relevant cost centres which are geared toward the production of a specific product group is termed "Allocation" in CSC's own parlance.
When one product is introduced as an input to the production of another product, the input cost is the average production cost of the upstream product. Within a product group, CSC does not calculate or maintain detailed cost for different specifications or types.
The costs captured in service or auxiliary cost centres, including those for water, electricity and maintenance, are allocated to producing cost centres based on the actual consumption of each producing cost centre.
When more than one producing cost centre is involved with one product, its total costs would be allocated to the output quantity of the product.
6. Describe the level of product specificity (models, grades etc.) that your company’s cost accounting system records production costs.
In CSC's ordinary cost accounting system, one average cost is recorded for the product produced at a given cost centre, and within such product group.
CSC does not calculate or maintain detailed cost for different specifications or types.
7. List and explain all production costs incurred by your company that are valued differently for cost accounting purposes than for financial accounting purposes.
Not applicable. CSC's cost accounting system is an integral part of its financial accounting system, and the methods for cost and financial accounting purposes are the same.
8. State whether your company engaged in any start-up operations in relation to the goods. Describe in detail the start-up operation, giving dates (actual or projected) of each stage of the start-up operation.
Not applicable. CSC did not engage in any relevant start-up operations relating to goods under consideration.
48
PUBLIC VERSION
9. State the total cost of the start-up operation, and the way that your company has treated the costs of the start-up operation it its accounting records.
Not applicable. CSC did not engage in any relevant start-up operations relating to goods under consideration.
G-4 Cost to make and sell on domestic market
This information is relevant to testing whether domestic sales are in the ordinary course of trade.2
1. Please provide (in the format shown in the table below) the actual unit cost to make and sell each model/type of the like goods sold on the domestic market (identified in Section C). Provide this cost data for each quarter over the review period. If your company calculates costs monthly, provide monthly costs.
Please see Exhibit G-4 for CSC quarterly unit cost and DSC monthly unit cost of each model sold on the domestic market.
2. Indicate the source of cost information (account numbers etc.) and/or methods used to allocate cost to the goods. Provide documentation and worksheets supporting your calculations.
CSC calculates production costs monthly. However, as stated above, CSC does not in its ordinary course of business maintain production costs at a type-specific level. In order to report model-specific costs, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

G-6 Major raw material costs
List major raw material costs, which individually account for 10% or more of the total production cost.
For these major inputs:
- identify materials sourced in-house and from associated entities;
- identify the supplier; and
- show the basis of valuing the major raw materials in the costs of production you have shown for the goods (e.g. market prices, transfer prices or actual cost of production).
Where the major input is produced by an associate of your company, the Commission will compare your purchase price to a normal market price. If the associate provides information on the cost of production for that input, such cost data may also be considered.
Normal market price is taken to be the price normally available in the market (having regard to market size, whether the input is normally purchased at ‘spot prices’ or under long term contracts etc.).
53
PUBLIC VERSION
The term associate is defined in section 269TAA of the Act. Included in that definition are companies controlled by the same parent company (a company that controls 5% or more of the shares of another is taken to be an associated company), companies controlled by the other company, and companies having the same person in the board of directors.
Important note: if the major input is sourced as part of an integrated production process you should provide detailed information on the full costs of production of that input.
The primary raw materials for the goods under consideration are coal and iron ore.
Please see Exhibit G-6 for purchase summary of coal and iron ore, in which CSC identifies the suppliers. None of the suppliers are related with CSC.
In CSC’s accounting records, CSC records the actual purchase value of coal and iron as the raw material cost, including all concerned expenses.

MANUFACTURING FACILITIES
Tandem finishing mill further reduce strip thickness to customer ordered specif ication. The finishing temperature, strip profile, flatness and surface quality are also controlled to meet customers' requirements.
After finishing mill, the strip is cooled to proper temperature by laminar flow for achieving required mechanical and metallurgical properties.
Hot strip is coiled by down coiler, then being packed, marked and delivered for customer or down stream plants.
Reheating furnaces are used to heat slabs to pre-defined temperature for hot rolling according to different heating curves based on steel grades.
Reheating Furnace Laminar Flow Down Coiler
Roughing mill is the main equipment to rolling both slab thickness and width to pre-calculated value for fi nishing rolling.

10.2 Hardness profi le along steel stripAfter rolling and coiling, hot rolling strip will be gradually cooling down under room temperature. Due to the
cooling rate of coil outer side is faster than inner side, the hardness of head and tail will be a fraction harder.
Along the width direction, side part will be a fraction harder than central part.
10.3 FormabilityFormability is based on hardness, metallographic structure, cleanliness of the steel. Furthermore, most steel
are prone to orientation, such as bending work, cracking will happen more when bending axis is parallel with
coil rolling direction (longitude direction). On the other hand, bending work will be more successful when
bending axis is vertical with longitude direction. Common physical characteristics of mechanical property and
infl uence on formability of steel are listed in Table 2.
10.1 Surface Quality ControlThe surface quality controls for hot rolled products when producing are based on the requirements of
downstream uses. Such controls are roughly classifi ed as Un-Exposed (UE), General Purposes (GP), and
General Exposed (GE), as shown in Table 1.

10.6 Quality Notifi cation(1) HR red rust (Tiger Mark) – When HR product have Si above 0.08%, there will be red rust (Tiger Mark) on the surface.
Consider some grinding treatment before using.
(2) Selection of thickness tolerance – Attention should be given to cut edge or mill edge. Though it match ordering spec
tolerance, thinner side parts will still infl uence usage.
(3) Damp caused by huge temperature difference (rust caused by fog) – Non-packing steel should watch out its storage
environment and temperature variation, to avoid moisture.
10.7 Potential Safety Hazards(1) If the sides of HR products have rough or saw edge, they will have the potential dangers of scratching hands.
(2) If the shapes of HR coils are not good, they will have the potential dangers of falling down when lifting or storing.
(3) If HR products have defects such as sliver, lamination or hole, they will have the potential dangers of strip break to
collide with machine or hurt people when slitting to make pipes or re-rolling.
(4) HR product has potential dangers of break.
(5) If oiled HR plates are not packed with steel straps, they will have the potential dangers of falling down when lifting or
storing.
(6) It will have the potential dangers of springing open to hurt people when their steel straps are being cut.
