thereto within the meaning of section 1677(13) of this title, did not 
intend to export the merchandise to the United States, did not import 
the merchandise for a period of at least six months from the date of 
purchase, and does not regularly or customarily engage in a pattern of 
importation of such merchandise. Failure by an importer to disclose the 
fact that merchandise subject to an antidumping duty order was

is any increase in the value of imported merchandise, resulting from a 
process of manufacture or assembly, after importation and before its 
sale to a person who is not the exporter of the merchandise, to the 
extent that the increase in value substantially exceeds the value of 
the imported merchandise when resold without any additional manufacture 
or assembly, the `exporter's sales price' shall be--
            ``(1) the price at which such or similar merchandise is 
        sold or agreed to be sold in the United States, before or after 
        the time of importation, to a person who is not the exporter of 
        the merchandise, with due allowance if merchandise described in 
        paragraph (B) or (C) of section 1677(16) of this title is used

following new section:

``SEC. 771C. DIVERSIONARY INPUT DUMPING.

    ``For purposes of this title, diversionary input dumping occurs 
when--
            ``(1) a producer or manufacturer incorporates into 
        merchandise under investigation a component or a material which 
        is the subject of--
                    ``(A) an antidumping duty order issued under 
                section 736,
                    ``(B) a finding issued under the Antidumping Act, 
                1921, or
                    ``(C) an international arrangement or agreement 
                described in section 734, if such arrangement or 
                agreement was entered into after an affirmative 
                preliminary determination was made under section 
                733(b), and
            ``(2) the producer or manufacturer under investigation 
        purchased the material or component at a price which is less 
        than the foreign market value (determined under section 
        773(e)).''.
    (b) Foreign Value.--
            (1) In general.--Paragraph (2) of section 773(a) of such 
        Act (19 U.S.C. 1677b(A)(2)) is amended by inserting ``(or, if 
        the administering authority finds there is a reasonable basis 
        to believe that diversionary input dumping is occurring which 
        has a significant effect on the cost of producing the 
        merchandise under investigation)'' after paragraph (1)(A).
            (2) Special rule for diversionary input dumping.--Section 
        773(e) of such Act (19 U.S.C. 1677b(e)) is amended by adding at 
        the end thereof the following new paragraph:
            ``(5) Diversionary input dumping.--If the administering 
        authority determines that diversionary input dumping is 
        occurring and has a significant effect on the cost of producing 
        the merchandise under investigation, the administering 
        authority shall, in calculating the cost of the material or 
        component under paragraph (1)(A), include the amount of the 
        diversionary input dumping determined to exist with respect to 
        such material or component. For purposes of the preceding 
        sentence, the amount of the diversionary input dumping is the 
        difference, if any, by which--
                    ``(A) the foreign market value of the input 
                material or component involved, as calculated under 
                this title, exceeds
                    ``(B) the purchase price of the input material or 
                component paid by the producer or manufacturer of the 
                merchandise under investigation.''.
    (c) Procedures for Initiating an Antidumping Investigation.--
Section 732(a) of such Act (19 U.S.C. 1673a(A)) is amended by adding at 
the end thereof the following new paragraph:
            ``(3) Cases involving diversionary input dumping.--The 
        administering authority shall commence an antidumping 
        investigation whenever it has reasonable grounds to believe or 
        suspect that--
                    ``(A) diversionary input dumping (as defined in 
                section 771(c)) is occurring,
                    ``(B) such diversionary input dumping has a 
                significant effect on the cost of producing the 
                merchandise under investigation, and
                    ``(C) subsequent to the imposition of an 
                antidumping duty order or entry into force of an 
                international agreement relating to imports into the 
                United States of the material or component in question, 
                shipments to the United States of the merchandise under 
                investigation have increased (either in quantity or 
                market share).''.
    (d) Timetable for Preliminary Determination by Administering 
Authority.--Section 733(b)(1) of such Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)(1)) is 
amended by adding at the end thereof the following new subparagraph:
                    ``(D) If diversionary input dumping involved.--If, 
                as part of a petition filed under section 732(b), or an 
                investigation commenced under section 732(a), the 
                administering authority has reasonable grounds to 
                believe or suspect that diversionary input dumping is 
                occurring, the administering authority may treat the 
                investigation as an extraordinarily complicated case 
                under subsection (c) and may extend the period of time 
                for making a preliminary determination accordingly.''.
    (e) Clerical Amendment.--The table of contents for subtitle VII of 
the Tariff Act of 1930 is amended by inserting after the item relating 
to section 771B the following new item:

``Sec. 771C. Diversionary input dumping.''.

SEC. 105. UPSTREAM SUBSIDIES.

    (a) Definition.--Section 771A(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
U.S.C. 1677-1(a)) is amended in its last sentence by inserting after

    (b) Determination of Competitive Benefit in Upstream Subsidies.--
Section 771A(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1677-1(b)(1)) 
is amended--
            (1) by striking ``Except'' and inserting ``(A) Except,''
            (2) by striking ``another seller'' and inserting ``an 
        unsubsidized seller in subparagraph (A), as redesignated by 
        paragraph (1), and
            (3) by adding at the end thereof the following new 
        paragraph--
                    ``(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the 
                administering authority shall determine the price that 
                the manufacturer or producer would otherwise pay for 
                the input product in obtaining it from an unsubsidized 
                seller by applying the first of the following factors 
                that may apply--
                            ``(i) the price paid (including any 
                        delivery fees) by the manufacturer or producer 
                        to an unsubsidized seller located in the same 
                        country as the seller of the input product,
                            ``(ii) the price paid (including any 
                        delivery fees) by the manufacturer or producer 
                        to an unsubsidized seller located in a country 
                        other than the country of the seller of the 
                        input product,
                            ``(iii) information on prices (including 
                        all delivery fees) from an unsubsidized seller 
                        of the input product located in the same 
                        country as the subsidized seller of the input 
                        product, or
                            ``(iv) information on prices (including all 
                        delivery fees) from an unsubsidized seller of 
                        the input product located in a country other 
                        than the country of the subsidized seller of 
                        the input product.''.

SEC. 106. SALES AT LESS THAN COST OF PRODUCTION.

    Section 773(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1677b(b)) is 
amended by striking all that follows ``made at less than the cost of 
producing the merchandise.'' and inserting in lieu thereof the 
following: ``In the determination of foreign market value, the 
administering authority shall disregard sales made at less than cost of 
production if such sales have been made in substantial quantities over 
the period of investigation or review and at prices which do not permit 
the recovery of all costs within a reasonable period of time in the 
ordinary course of trade. Whenever sales are disregarded by virtue of 
being made at less than the cost of production and the remaining sales, 
made at not less than the cost of productions, constitute less than 30 
percent of the volume of sales of the merchandise under consideration 
the administering authority shall employ the constructed value of the 
merchandise to determine its foreign market value. For purposes of this 
subsection the following provisions shall apply:
            ``(1) Sales below cost shall be deemed by the administering 
        authority to have been made in substantial quantities if--
                    ``(A) the weighted average selling price for the 
                period of investigation is less than the weighted 
                average cost of production for the merchandise in 
                question for the period, or
                    ``(B) the volume of sales found to be below cost 
                represents not less than 20 percent of the volume of 
                such merchandise sold.
            ``(2) In investigations under section 1673, the 
        administering authority shall calculate the cost of producing 
        the merchandise for the period of investigation.
            ``(3) In administrative reviews under section 1675, the 
        administering authority shall calculate the cost of producing 
        the merchandise based on the weighted average cost for the 
        period or periods during the review that the administering 
        authority determines to be reasonable for comparison to prices.
            ``(4) Prices determined to be below cost at the time of 
        sale shall not be considered to provide for the recovery of 
        costs within the reasonable period of time (not to exceed the 
        period of investigation or review), unless the administering 
        authority determines that such prices are above cost for the 
        period for which costs were calculated for purposes of 
        subparagraphs (2) and (3) of this section.
            ``(5) For the purposes of determining cost of productions 
        and constructed value, the administering authority shall 
        examine the allocation of non-recurring costs to current and 
        future production. As long as the allocations are reasonably 
        reflective of the costs associated with the production and sale 
        of the product under consideration, any allocations consistent 
        with the generally accepted accounting principles of the 
        exporting country will normally be accepted. The administering 
        authority shall confirm that all non-recurring costs from the 
        period prior to the period of investigation that benefit 
        current production have been appropriately allocated to current 
        and future production.
            ``(6) For the purposes of determining cost of production 
        and constructed value, unless already reflected in the cost 
        allocations, appropriate adjustments shall be made for 
        circumstances in which certain non-recurring costs during the 
        period of investigation are affected by start-up operations. 
        The adjustment made for start-up operations shall reflect the 
        per unit costs of labor and overhead. For purposes of this 
        paragraph the term `start-up period' shall mean the period 
        prior to the commencement of commercial production (as defined 
        in the normal course of business by the industry in question in 
        the exporting country) of a new general category of 
        merchandise.''

                be determined on this basis, they shall be based on any

                determines to be reasonably representative of such 
                selling, general and administrative expenses for the 
                same class or kind of merchandise or the same general 
                category of merchandise, which shall be based on the

U.S.C. 1677b(e)(1)), is amended by striking paragraph (C) as (E) and

SEC. 110. REVIEWS UPON INFORMATION OR REQUEST OR PASSAGE OF TIME.

    Section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675) is 
amended to read as follows:
    ``(b) Reviews Upon Information or Request or Passage of Time.--
            ``(1) In general.--Whenever the administering authority or 
        the Commission receives information concerning, or a request by 
        an interested party within the meaning of section 1677(9) of 
        this title for the review of, an agreement accepted under 
        section 1671c or 1673c of this title or an antidumping or 
        countervailing duty order under this title or an antidumping 
        finding under the Antidumping Act of 1921, which shows changed 
        circumstances sufficient to warrant a review of such 
        determination, finding or order, it shall conduct such a review 
        after publishing notice of the review in the Federal Register. 
        In reviewing its determination under section 1671c(h)(2) of 
        this title, the Commission shall consider whether, in the 
        changed circumstances, an agreement accepted under section 
        1671c or 1673c(c) of this title continues to eliminate 
        completely the injurious effects of imports of the merchandise.
            ``(2) Limitation of period of review.--In the absence of 
        good cause shown--
                    ``(A) the Commission may not review a determination 
                under 1671d(b) or 1673d(b) of this title; and
                    ``(B) the administering authority may not review a 
                finding of dumping or subsidies under this title or 
                section 1303 of title 19, United States Code, or of 
                dumping under the Antidumping Act of 1921,
        less than twenty-four months after the date of publication of 
        notice of the order, finding, determination or suspension 
        agreement.
            ``(3) Five year review.--Notwithstanding subparagraphs (1) 
        and (2), the administering authority shall initiate once each 
        five years a review to determine whether the expiry of a 
        suspension agreement under section 1671c or 1673c, an 
        antidumping or countervailing duty order under this title, or 
        an antidumping finding under the Antidumping Act of 1921, would 
        be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and 
        injury whenever--
                    ``(A) an administrative review conducted under 
                section 1675(a) of this title has been completed within 
                the prior twelve months or is ongoing at a time thirty 
                days prior to the relevant five year deadline or the 
                existing cash deposit rate for any exporter is 10 
                percent ad valorem or more at a time thirty days prior 
                to the relevant five year deadline; or
                    ``(B) a request is made by or on behalf of the 
                domestic industry at least ninety days prior to the 
                five year deadline identified in this subsection.
        The five year period will be measured from the date of an 
        antidumping finding or order, a countervailing duty order or a 
        suspension agreement (as modified by subsection (b)(4)) or from 
        the date of the Federal Register notice of the completion of a 
        review under subsection (b)(3) or a review under subsection 
        (b)(1). Notice of the commencement of the review shall be 
        promptly published in the Federal Register. However, where the 
        requirements of (A) or (B) are satisfied, the review shall be 
        deemed initiated on or before the expiry of the five year 
        deadline regardless of whether notice is published prior to 
        such date.
            ``(4) Dates for existing orders, findings or suspension 
        agreements for purpose of subsection (b)(3).--All existing 
        antidumping and countervailing duty orders or suspension 
        agreements under this title or antidumping findings under the 
        Antidumping Act of 1921 shall be deemed for purposes of 
        subsection (b)(3) to be imposed on the date of entry into force 
        for the Untied States of the agreement establishing the World 
        Trade Organization, July 1, 1995.
            ``(5) In conducting reviews under subsections (b) (3) and 
        (4), the administering authority may elect to treat an ongoing 
        review under 1675(a) as a review for purposes of determining 
        whether dumping will likely continue or recur; evidence that 
        dumping has occurred in the ongoing or immediately preceding 
        review shall create a presumption that dumping is likely to 
        continue or recur.
            ``(6) For purposes of subsection (b)(4) the Commission:
                    ``(A) May consolidate reviews from various 
                countries for the same class or kind and may 
                consolidate related classes or kinds of merchandise 
                based on either simultaneous consideration of the 
                product classes in the original injury investigation or 
                on the similarity in domestic interested parties.
                    ``(B) May commence reviews as early as July 1, 
                1999, to distribute the administrative burden, and 
                should normally complete reviews within twelve months 
                (except that the countervailing duty order, antidumping 
                order, or antidumping finding under review may not be 
                revoked, in whole or in part, prior to July 1, 2000).
                            ``(i) Where the complexity of the review or 
                        the number of reviews being considered warrant, 
                        the Commission may extend completion of the 
                        reviews beyond twelve months to the extent 
                        necessary.
                            ``(ii) Prior to commencing reviews, the 
                        Commission may forward sample questionnaire 
                        forms and likely information needs to potential 
                        interested parties as long as responses to such 
                        informational requests are not due prior to the 
                        commencement of a review and such requests are 
                        not transmitted more than twelve months before 
                        the likely commencement date. The exercise of 
                        this subsection shall not trigger commencement 
                        of the twelve month time limitation on a review 
                        as required by paragraph (B).
                    ``(C) Imports of the same class or kind of 
                merchandise from all outstanding antidumping and 
                countervailing duty orders, findings, or suspension 
                agreements may be cumulatively assessed where 
                cumulative assessment would support a finding of 
                continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury. This 
                section is applicable whether one or more of the 
                findings, orders or suspension agreements involves a 
                regional industry subject to the provisions of (b)(9).
            ``(7) Basis for reviews.--In conducting reviews under 
        subsection (b)(4), such reviews shall not be commenced earlier 
        than July 1, 1999. This paragraph shall not be applied to 
        reviews initiated under paragraph (3)(B).
            ``(8) Factual situations.--For purposes of subsection (b), 
        the administering authority and Commission shall, based on the 
        underlying factual information, consider the following factual 
        situations and those consequences that would normally be 
        expected to result from the revocation of an antidumping order, 
        or finding, or countervailing duty order--
                    ``(A) that dumping or subsidies will continue or 
                recur where dumping or subsidy margins were found in 
                the last completed administrative review or are found 
                in an ongoing review under 1675(a);
                    ``(B) that dumping will continue or recur where 
                dumping margins have been eliminated in the last review 
                period when import volumes have also declined;
                    ``(C) that subsidies will be reconferred where the 
                subsidy program continues but a particular industry has 
                been excluded from its benefits;
                    ``(D) that price depression or suppression will 
                continue or recur where dumping or subsidy margins 
                continue to be found;

                dumping margins continue to be found;
                    ``(F) that import volumes will increase where 
                antidumping duty or countervailing duty orders or 
                suspension agreements or safeguard or other import 
                programs will continue in other countries;
                    ``(G) that import volumes will increase where 
                unutilized capacity exists or capacity expansions are 
                in progress;
                    ``(H) that the like product for purposes of the 
                review will be the same as in the original 
                investigation and will specifically include all 
                products found through scope inquiries or notices of 
                clarification to be covered by the finding, order or 
                suspension agreement;
                    ``(I) that import volumes will increase where 
                offshore inventories, as a ratio to consumption within 
                the United States of a like product, are at levels 
                equal to, or grater than, such volumes at the time of 
                the original investigation; and
                    ``(J) that import volumes will increase where there 
                is the presence of related parties or distribution 
                systems within the United States.
            ``(9) Verification.--All information relied on by the 
        administering authority or Commission shall be verified, when 
        considered appropriate, particularly information pertaining to 
        the likely conduct of foreign producers and, or, importers if 
        an order, finding or suspension agreement were to be revoked or 
        terminated.
            ``(10) Regional domestic industries.--In the case of a 
        countervailing duty or antidumping duty order imposed as a 
        result of an investigation involving a regional domestic 
        industry, the Commission shall determine whether expiration of 
        the order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence 
        of material injury or threat of material injury to the regional 
        industry as defined by the Commission in the original 
        investigation, notwithstanding any changes in regional market 
        isolation or regional import concentration since the original 
        investigation, or to a different regional industry satisfying 
        the criteria of section 1677(4)(C) of title 19, United States 
        Code, as of the time of the review.
            ``(11) Changed circumstances.--A party previously excluded 
        from an antidumping or countervailing duty order, having been 
        determined by the administering authority in its original 
        investigation not to be dumping or countervailably subsidized, 
        may be made subject to that order if later found under this 
        subsection to be dumping or receiving countervailable subsidies 
        above a de minimis level.

                of injury is necessarily predictive and shall be 
                satisfied where such anticipated injury is not 
                inconsequential, immaterial or unimportant within the 
                meaning of 1677(7)(A). In making this determination the 
                Commission shall take into account the factual 
                situations set forth in subsection (8).

1677f-1(a)), is amended by--
            (1) striking ``In General.--'' from paragraph (a), striking 
        subparagraph (2), and redesignating paragraph (a) as

        newly designated subparagraph (1);
            (3) adding at the end of subparagraph (1)(A) the following:
                    ``(B) shall decline to take into account 
                adjustments that amount to less than 1 percent of the 
                unadjusted United States price or unadjusted foreign 
                market price, as appropriate.''.
            (4) adding at the end of subparagraph (1) the following new 
        subparagraph:
            ``(2) For the purpose of comparing United States price with 
        foreign market value under Section 1675 of this title, the 
        administering authority shall normally compare the United 
        States price of each entry or each sale with a foreign market 
        value based upon weighted average or preponderant prices 
        determined under section 1677b(a) of this title, or upon 
        constructed value.''.
            (5) adding at the end of paragraph (b) the following: ``For 
        purposes of investigations under part II of this title, where a 
        significant number of producers and exporters or a significant 
        number of different products are involved, the administering 
        authority may sample producers and exporters or products, based 
        upon statistically valid sample techniques, after seeking and 
        taking account of the views of all interest parties. The 
        administering authority in such cases shall, to the extent 
        practically possible within the time constraints of the 
        investigation or review, determine estimated duty deposits and 
        assessment rates for each producer or exporter that so requests 
        and that provides adequate information in a timely manner. 
        Alternatively, the administering authority may determine United 
        States price or foreign market value upon those sales which 
        account for the largest percentage of the volume of subject 
        imports which can reasonably be investigated (normally 60 
        percent or more of the total volume of imports). However, for 
        good cause shown, upon request of petitioner, the administering 
        authority shall investigate producers and exporters accounting 
        for a higher percentage of the volume of subject imports.''.
            (6) adding at the end of paragraph (b) the following new 
        paragraphs:
    ``(c) Special Rule.--For the purpose of carrying out an 
investigation under part II of this title, the administering authority 
shall collect individual transaction prices for United States price and 
foreign market value (including information on purchasers, regions, and 
time period), and shall--
            ``(1) utilize individual transaction prices for the 
        determination of United States price and for comparison to fair 
        value whenever individual transaction prices are used for the 
        determination of fair value; and
            ``(2) utilize weighted average prices for the determination 
        of United States price and for comparison to fair value 
        whenever weighted average prices are used for the determination 
        of fair value;
except that United States price shall be determined for each entry or 
transaction and compared to a weighted average fair value whenever 
there is satisfactory evidence that United States prices vary 
significantly among different purchasers, regions, or by time period 
over 20 percent or more of the quantity sold during the period of 
investigation.
    ``(d) Calculation of Adjustments, Special Rule.--Notwithstanding 
paragraph (b), the administering authority shall average expenses or 
income only across those sales to which such expenses or income are 
attributable for purposes of calculating adjustments to United States 
price or foreign market value under 1677a and 1677b.''.

SEC. 113. MARKET VIABILITY.

                consumption, or if the administering authority 
                determines that the quantity sold for home consumption 
                is so small in relation to the quantity sold for 
                exportation to the United States as to form an 
                inadequate basis for comparison, then the price at 
                which so sold or offered for sale for exportation to 
                countries other than the United States, provided that 
                the administering authority does not determine that the 
                foreign market value should be determined on the basis 
                of constructed value,''.
    (b) Section 773(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 
U.S.C. 1677b(a)(1)) is amended by adding to the end thereof the 
following: ``In determining whether the quantity sold for home 
consumption is so small in relation to the quantity sold for 
exportation to the United States to form an adequate basis for 
comparison, the administering authority may exclude, in appropriate 
circumstances, home market sales to related parties (as defined in 19 
U.S.C. 1677b(e)(4)) or home market sales to companies directly or 
indirectly owning, controlling or holding with the power to vote, 5 
percent or more of the outstanding voting stock or shares of a related 
party.''

1677b(d)), is amended by adding at the end thereof the following: 
``Sales in the home market will not be used as the basis for comparison 
when the number of sales is so small in relation to the quantity sold 
for exportation to the United States as to form an inadequate basis for 
comparison. In determining whether the quantity sold for home 
consumption is so small in relation to the quantity sold for 
exportation to the United States to form an adequate basis for 
comparison, the administering authority may exclude, in appropriate 
circumstances, home market sales to related parties (as defined in 19 
U.S.C. 1677b(e)(4)) or home market sales to companies directly or 
indirectly owning, controlling or holding with the power to vote, 5 
percent or more of the outstanding voting stock or shares of a related 
party.''.

    Section 771(7)(C)(v) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 
U.S.C. 1677(7)(C)(v)), is amended by striking the subparagraph and 
inserting in lieu thereof the following:
                            ``(v) Treatment of negligible imports.--The 
                        Commission shall immediately terminate its

                        Code, the Commission determines that the volume 
                        of imports (or sale for importation) from a 
                        particular country of the merchandise which is 
                        subject to investigation accounts for less than 
                        3 percent of imports of such merchandise, 
                        unless countries which individually account for 
                        less than 3 percent of the imports of such 
                        merchandise collectively account for more than 
                        7 percent of imports of the merchandise. 
                        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commission 
                        shall not terminate its investigation pursuant 
                        to this subsection with regard to imports from 
                        a particular country where the value of imports 
                        or merchandise subject to investigation, based

                        periods for which the Commission has data 
                        exceeds an amount which bears the same ratio to 
                        $5,000,000 as the average gross national 
                        product of the United States for that period, 
                        as determined by the Department of Commerce,

SEC. 115. CAPTIVE PRODUCTION.

    Section 771(4) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1677(4)) is 
amended by adding at the end thereof the following new subparagraph:
                    ``(F) Captive production.--In any investigation 
                involving production that domestic producers both sell 
                in the merchant market and further process into another 
                distinct product, the Commission shall not include the 
                semi-finished production within the definition of the

                product, and that such semi-finished production 
                competes to a significant degree with the imports of 
                the finished products subject to investigation.''.

SEC. 116. DUTY AS A COST.

    (a) Section 772(e)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19

    (b) Section 772(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C.

                conditions of subsection (A) and (B) have been 
                fulfilled with respect to such merchandise; and''.
    (c) Section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 
1675(a)), is amended by adding to the end thereof the following:
            ``(3) Special rule.--For purposes of the assessments of 
        antidumping duties and the deposits of estimated antidumping 
        duties to be based upon the results of the determination of 
        antidumping duties referred to in subsection (a)(2), where the 
        importer of the merchandise is the exporter as defined in 
        section 771(13), the determination under subsection (a)(2) 
        shall be deemed to be a determination of nominal antidumping 
        duties in that such duties may be subject to further adjustment 
        to reflect the extent to which the duties are absorbed by the 
        exporter. Therefore, in such instances where the importer is 
        the exporter, the administering authority shall instruct the 
        United States Customs Service to assess antidumping duties in 
        the amount of the nominal antidumping duties determined, 
        provided that, prior to liquidation, the exporter--
                    ``(A) provides written certification that--
                            ``(i) the full amount of an assessment on 
                        the merchandise based upon the amount of the

                        its unrelated purchaser for such assessment; 
                        and

                assessment in fact has been passed on to and paid by 
                such purchaser.
        If the exporter fails to certify and furnish the other evidence 
        indicating that the full amount of nominal antidumping duties 
        is passed on by the exporter to its unrelated purchaser, the 
        assessments of antidumping duties shall be based upon the full 
        amount of the nominal antidumping duties plus the amount 
        thereof not shown to be passed on to the unrelated 
        purchaser.''.

        and when found by the Secretary of Commerce (hereafter referred 
        to as the Secretary) to exist shall be dealt with, in addition 
        to any other provision of law, as provided in this section:
                    ``(A) The sale of articles in the United States by 
                the owner, distributor, or consignee, of articles

        distributor, or consignee' includes any agent of the owner, 
        distributor, or consignee.
    ``(b) Investigations of Violations by the Secretary of Commerce.--
            ``(1) The Secretary of Commerce shall investigate any 
        alleged violation of this section on complaint under oath or 
        upon its initiative, except as provided in subsection (3). Upon 
        commencing any such investigation, the Secretary shall publish 
        notice thereof in the Federal Register. The Secretary shall 
        conclude any such investigation, and make its determination 
        under this section, at the earliest practicable time, but not 
        later than one year (eighteen months in more complicated cases) 
        after the date of publication of notice of such investigation. 
        The Secretary shall publish in the Federal Register its reasons 
        for designating any investigation as a more complicated 
        investigation. For purposes of the one year and eighteen month 
        period prescribed by this subsection, there shall be excluded 
        any period of time during which such investigation is suspended 
        because of proceedings in a court or agency of the United 
        States involving similar questions concerning the subject 
        matter of such investigations.
            ``(2) During the course of each investigation under this 
        section, the Secretary shall consult with, and seek advice and 
        information from the Department of Health and Human Services, 
        the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, and 
        such other departments and agencies as it considers 
        appropriate.
            ``(3) The Secretary shall not investigate any alleged 
        violation of this section where the articles sold in the United 
        States have been or are being investigated under section 1337 
        of this title. If, upon investigation of an alleged violation 
        of this section on complaint or upon its own initiative, the 
        Secretary determines that the articles alleged to violate this 
        section are imported or are sold for importation or are sold 
        after importation by the owner, importer, or consignee, then 
        the investigation by the Secretary shall be terminated and the 
        matter referred to the International Trade Commission under 
        section 1337 of this title.
    ``(c) Determinations; Review.--The Secretary shall determine, with 
respect to each investigation conducted by it under this section, 
whether or not there is a violation of this section, except that the 
Secretary may, by issuing a consent order or on the basis of a 
settlement agreement, terminate any such investigation, in whole or in 
part, without making such a determination. Each determination under 
subsection (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), or (h) of this section shall be 
made on the record after notice and opportunity for a hearing in 
conformity with the provisions of subchapter II of chapter 5 of title 
5. All legal and equitable defenses may be presented in all cases. Any 
person adversely affected by a final determination of the Secretary 
under subsection (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), or (h) of this section may 
appeal such determination, within sixty days after the determination 
becomes final, to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal 
Circuit for review in accordance with chapter 7 of title 5. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection, 
determination by the Secretary under subsection (c), (d), (e), (f), 
(g), or (h) of this section with respect to its findings on the public 
health and welfare, competitive conditions in the United States 
economy, the production of like or directly competitive articles in the 
United States and United States consumers, or the appropriate remedy 
shall be reviewable in accordance with section 706 of title 5.
    ``(d) Preliminary Injunction During Investigation; Procedures 
Applicable.--
            ``(1) If during the course of an investigation under this 
        section, the Secretary determines that there is reason to 
        believe that there is a violation of this section, it may issue 
        a preliminary injunction, enjoining the person from selling 
        like or directly competitive articles in the United States. An 
        Administrative Law Judge shall issue a preliminary injunction 
        directing the person not to sell or offer for sale the like or 
        directly competitive articles in the United States.
            ``(2) A complainant may petition the Secretary for the 
        issuance of a preliminary injunction under this subsection. The 
        Secretary shall make a determination with regard to such 
        petition by no later than the ninetieth day after the date on 
        which the Secretary's notice of investigation is published in 
        the Federal Register. The Secretary may extend the ninety day 
        period for an additional sixty days in a case it designates as 
        a more complicated case. The Secretary shall publish in the 
        Federal Register its reasons why it designated the case as 
        being more complicated. The Secretary may require the 
        complainant to post a bond as a prerequisite to the issuance of 
        an order under this subsection.
            ``(3) The Secretary may grant preliminary relief under this 
        subsection or subsection (e) of this section to the same extent 
        as preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders may 
        be granted under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
    ``(e) Cease and Desist Orders; Civil Penalty for Violations of 
Orders.--
            ``(1) The Secretary shall issue and cause to be served on 
        any person violating this section, or believed to be violating 
        this section, as the case may be, an order directing such 
        person to cease and desist from engaging in the unfair methods 
        or acts involved, unless after considering the effect of such 
        order upon the public health and welfare, competitive 
        conditions in the United States economy, the production of like 
        or directly competitive articles in the United States, and 
        United States consumers, if finds that such order should not be 
        issued. The Secretary may at any time, upon such notice and in 
        such manner as it deems proper, modify or revoke any such 
        order.
            ``(2) Any persons who violates an order issued by the 
        Secretary under paragraph (1) after it has become final shall 
        forfeit and pay to the United States a civil penalty for each 
        day on which the violation occurs of not more than the greater 
        of $100,000 or twice the value of the articles sold on such day 
        in violation of the order. Such penalty shall accrue to the 
        United States and may be recovered for the United States in a 
        civil action brought by Commerce in the Federal District Court 
        for the District of Columbia or for the district in which the 
        violation occurs. In such actions, the United States district 
        courts may issue mandatory injunctions incorporating the relief 
        sought by the Secretary as they deem appropriate in the 
        enforcement of such final orders.
    ``(f) Cease and Desist Order; Conditions and Procedures 
Applicable.--If--
            ``(1) a complaint is filed against a person under this 
        section;
            ``(2) the complaint and a notice of investigation are 
        served on the person;
            ``(3) the person fails to respond to the complaint and 
        notice or otherwise fails to appear to answer the complaint and 
        notice;
            ``(4) the person fails to show good cause why the person 
        should not be found in default; and
            ``(5) the complainant seeks relief limited solely to that 
        person;
        the Secretary shall presume the facts alleged in the complaint 
        to be true and shall, upon request, issue a preliminary 
        injunction or a cease and desist order, or both, limited to 
        that person unless, after considering the effect of such 
        exclusion or order upon the public health and welfare, 
        competitive conditions in the United States economy, and the 
        United States consumers, the Secretary finds that such 
        exclusion or order should not be issued.
    ``(g) Sanctions for Abuse of Discovery and Abuse of Process.--The 
Secretary may by rule prescribe sanctions for abuse of discovery and 
abuse of process to the extent authorized by rule 11 and rule 37 of the 
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
    ``(h) Forfeiture.--
            ``(1) In addition to taking action under subsection (e) or 
        (f) of this section, the Secretary may issue an order providing 
        that any article sold in the United States or offered for sale 
        in violation of the provisions of this section be seized and 
        forfeited to the United States if--

SEC. 303. SPECIALTY STEEL PRODUCT TARIFFS.

    It is the sense of Congress that every effort be taken by the 
United States Government to conclude the Multilateral Steel Agreement 
prior to the effective date of the legislation enacted to implement the 
Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. A 
principal negotiating objective of the United States in the

shall be to obtain rules ensuring the elimination of all injurious 
subsidies. In this regard, prior to implementation of the Uruguay Round 
of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade consideration shall be 
given by United States negotiators to the potential impact the 
elimination of tariffs on specialty steel products would have on the 
specialty steel industry absent a successful conclusion of the MSA. The 
term ``specialty steel product'' shall be defined as any product 
classified under the following item numbers of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedules of United States: 7218-7223, 7224.10.0045, 7224.90.0015-
7224.90.0035, 7225.10-7225.20, 7225.30.10, 7225.30.50, 7225.40.10,
