MYI. OR

A. Introduction
This petition volume contains information regarding sales at less than fair value in the
United States of common alloy aluminum sheet ("CAAS") from Croatia. This volume presents
information reasonably available to Petitioners demonstrating that CAAS from Croatia is being
sold in the United States at less than fair value within the meaning of section 731 of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended ("the Act"). See 19 U.S.C. $ 1673. As discussed below, application of the
standard antidumping methodology used by the U.S. Department of Commerce ("the
Department") demonstrates that producers and exporters in Croaliahave sold, or offered for sale,
CAAS in the United States for less than fair value.
The general and injury information required by section 35L202 of the Depaftment's
regulations, 19 C.F.R. $ 35 1.202, and section 207 .lI of the regulations of the U.S. International
Trade Commission ("ITC" or "the Commission"), 19 C.F.R. S 207.I1, can be found in Volume I
of this petition. Based on information reasonably available to Petitioners contained in this volume,
the Department should initiate an investigation of sales at less than fair value of CAAS from
Croatia and should impose antidumping duties in an amount that is equal to the amount by which
the normal value exceeds the export price or constructed export price'
B. Producers in Croatia
To the best of Petitioners' knowledge, CAAS is produced in Croatia and exported to the
United States by the following company during the proposed period of investigation ("PoI"):
. Impol-TLM, d.o.o. (part of Impol Group)
PUBLIC VERSION
Pursuantto 19 C.F.R.$ 351.202(b)(7)(Ð(A), the full names and addresses of all known
producers and exporters of CAAS in all of the subject countries (including Croatia) is provided in
Volume I. See Petition Volume I, Exhibit GEN-6 (foreign producer list) and Exhibit GEN-15
(information on foreign producers). Although information about the proportion of total exports to
the United States accounted for by each listed company is not reasonably available to Petitioners,
Petitioners believe based on experience in the marketplace that merchandise produced by the
identified company accounts for most or all U.S. imports of CAAS during the proposed POI''
C. Export Price or Constructed Export Price
Petitioners have reason to believe or suspect that producers in Croatia are selling CAAS in
the United States at less than fair value, with sales of the subject merchandise occuring either
before or after importation to the United States.
1. Sources of U.S. Pricins
Petitioners calculated U.S. pricing for CAAS from Croatia based on information Petitioners
obtained from conhdential sources concerning sales or offers for sale during the proposed POI.
See Exhibit AD-HR-I.
2. Adiustments to U.S. Pricins
Petitioners believe that exporters sell CAAS both directly to end users in the United States,
as well as through trading companies or affiliated sales agents in the United States, including:
o Impol Aluminum Corpo AA Metals Inc.o LevellingCorporation. Empire Resources Inc.o Ta Chen International Inc.
t Consistent with the Department's practice, Petitioners have treated the four calendar quafters
prior to the month in which the petition has been filed, January l, 2019 - Decembet 3I, 2019, as
the proposed POI.

See Petition Volume I, Exhibit GEN-8 (U.S. importer list).
In order to calculate ex-factory pricing for the U.S. sales, pursuant to 19 U.S.C. $
1677a(c)(2), (19 C.F.R. $$ 24.23(bXlXA) and24.24(a)), Petitioners have deducted from the U.S.
pricing, where applicable, the following charges and expenses:

These adjustments and Petitioners' calculation of net export pricing are provided at Exhibit AD-
HR.1
D. Normal Value
1. Normal V Based on Home rkef Prices
The preferred method for determining the normal value of imported products is to examine
sales or offers for sale of the identical or similar product in the home market of the exporting
country. See 19 C.F.R. $ 351.403. Petitioners were able to obtain pricing information in Croatia
based on confidential market research. Seq Exhibit AD-HR-2.

PUBLIC VERSION
E. Antidumpine Dutv Marsin Calculations
Petitioners deducted the export price or constructed export price from normal value -- using
foreign market pricing as normal value -- to determine the dumping margin for the U.S. sales. This
comparison results in a dumping margin of 32.01 percent, ad valorem. See Exhibit AD-HR-3.
il. CONCLUSION AND REOT]E,ST F'OR TIGATION
As demonstrated in this volume, CAAS from Croatia is being sold in the United States at
less than fair value. Accordingly, Petitioners respectfully request that the Department initiate an
antidumping investigation of CAAS from Croatia.

About Doing Business
The Oo,ng Business project provides object¡ve measures of business regulations and their enforcement across 190 economies and selected cities at the subnat¡onal and
regional level.
The Doirg Buslness project, launched ¡n 2002, looks at domestic small and medium-s¡ze companies and measures the regulations applying to them through their l¡fe
cycle,
Dong Bus,ness captures several important d¡mensions of the regulatory environment as it applies to local firms, lt provides quant¡tat¡ve indìcators on regulation for
borders, enforcing contracts and resolving ¡nsolvency. Doing Bus¡ness also measures features of employing workers. Although Do¡ng Bus,ness does not presenÈ lankings
of economies on the employing workers indicators or include the topic in the aggregate ease of doing business score or ranking on the ease of doing business, it does
present the data for these ind¡cators.
By gathering and analyzing comprehens¡ve quant¡tat¡ve data to compare business regulation env¡ronments across econom¡es and over time, Ooing B¿,siness encourages
econom¡es to compete towards more effic¡ent regulation; offers measurable benchmarks for reform; and serves as a resource for academics, journalists, private sector
researchers and others interested ¡n the business climate of each economy.
ln addition, Doing Bus,¡oss offers detailed subnational stud¡es, which exhaustively cover business regulation and reform ¡n different cit¡es and reg¡ons within a nation.
These studies provide data on the ease of doing business, rank each locat¡on, and recommend reforms to improve performance in each of the indicator areas. Selected
cities can compare iheir business regulôtions w¡th other cit¡es in the economy or region and with the 190 economies that Oor¡9 gusness has ranked.
The first Doing Bus,ness study, published in 2003, covered 5 indicator sets and 133 economies. This year's study covers 11 indlcator sets and 190 economies Most
indicator sets refer to a case scenario in the largest bus¡ness city of each economy, except for 11. economies that have a population of more than 100 m¡llion as of 2013
(Bangladesh. Brazil, China, lndia, lndonesia, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Russian Federation and the United States) where Oo,hg Sus,ness also collected data
for the second largest business city. The data for these 11 economies are a populat¡on-weighted average for the 2 largest bus¡ness cities. The project has benef¡ted from
feedback from governments, academics, practitioners and reviewers. The ¡nitial goal remains: to provide an object¡ve bas¡s for understanding and improv¡ng the
regulatory environment for business around the world.

STrading across Borderc
Do,ng Eusness records the t¡me and cost associated with the logistical process of export¡ng and importing goods. Do,ng Busmess measures the t¡me and cost (excluding
tar¡tfs) associated with three sets of procedures-documentary compliance, border compliance and domest¡c transport-within the overall process of exporting o[
importing a shipment of goods. The most recent round of data collection for the project was completed in May 2019. See the methodology for more information.
Documentary compllance
. obtainlng, preparing and submitting documents during
transport, clearance, inspect¡ons and port or border handling in
origin economy
. Obtaining, preparing and submitting documents required by
dest¡nat¡on economy and any transit economies
. Covers all documentsrequired by law and in pract¡ce, includ¡ng
electronic submissions of information
Border compllance
. Customs clearance and inspections
. lnspections by other agencies (if applied to more ihan 20% ofshipments)
. Handling and inspections that take place at the economy's port
or border
Oomostlc transport
. Loading or unloading of the shipment at the warehouse orporvborder
. Transport between warehouse and port/border
. Traffic delays and road police checks wh¡le shipment ¡s en
route
To make the data comparable across economies, a few assumptions are made about the traded
goods and the transact¡ons:
Tlme: Time is measured in hours, and I day is 24 hours (for example, 22 days are recorded as
22x24=528 hours). lf customs clearance takes 7.5 hours, the data are recorded as is. Alternatively,
suppose documents are submitted to a customs agency at 8:00a.m., are processed overnight and
can be picked up at 8:00a.m. the next day. The t¡me for customs clearance would be recorded as
24 hours because the actual procedure took 24 hours.
Cost: lnsurance cost and ¡nformal paymenLs for which no recelpt is issued are excluded from the
costs recorded. Costs are reported in U.S. dollars. Contributbrs are asked to convert local currency
¡nto U.S. dollars bôsed on the exchange rate prevailing on the day they answerthe quest¡onnaire.
Contributors are private sector experts ¡n ¡nternational trade logist¡cs and are informed about
exchange rates.
Assumptions of the case studyl- For all 190 economies covered by Do¡hg 8us,hsss, it is assumed a shipment is in a warehouse in
the largest business city of the exporting economy and travels to a warehouse in the largest
business city of the import¡ng economy.- lt is assumed each economy imports 15 metr¡c tons of contalnerized auto parts (HS 8708) from
its natural import partner-the economy from which it imports the largest value (pr¡ce timesquantity) of auto parts. lt is assumed each economy exports the product of its comparat¡ve
advantage (defined by the largest export value) to its natural export partner-the economy that ls
the largest purchaser of this product. sh¡pment value ¡s assumed to be $50,000.- The mode of transport is the one most w¡dely used for the chosen export or import product and
the trading partner, as is the seaport or land border crossing.- All eleckonic information submiss¡ons requested by any government agency in connectlon w¡th
the shipment are considered to be documents obta¡ned, prepared and submitted dur¡ng the export
or import process.
- A port or border is a place (seaport or land border crossing) where merchandise can enter or
leave an economy.- Relevant government agencies lnclude customs, port authoritles, road police, border guards,
standardization agencies, ministries or departments of agr¡culture or ¡ndustry, national security
agencies and any other government author¡ties.

tariffs) associated with three sets of procedures-documentary compliance, border compliance and domestic transport-within the overall process of exporting or
import¡ng a shipment of goods. The most recent round of data collection for the project was completed in May 2019, See the methodology for more information.
Documontary compllance
' Obtaining, preparing and submitting documents during
transport, clearance, inspections and port or border handling in
orig¡n economy
. obtaining, prepar¡ng and submitting documents required by
destination economy and any transit economies
. Covers all documents required by law and in pract¡ce, including
electronic submissions of information
Border compliance
. Customs cfearance arid inspections
' lnspections by other agenc¡es (if appl¡ed to more than 20% of
shipments)
. Handling and inspectlons that take place at the economy's port
or border
oomèstlc transþort
. Loading or unloading ofthe shipment at the warehouse or
porVborder
r Transport between warehouse and port/border
' Traffic delays and road police checks while sh¡pment is en
.route
To make the data comparable across economies, a few assumpt¡ons are made about the traded
goods and the transactions:
Tlme: Time is measured in hours, and I day is 24 hours (for example, 22 days are recorded as
22x24=528 hours). lfcustoms clearance takes 7.5 hours, the data are recorded as is. Alternatively,
suppose documents are submitted to a customs agency at 8:004.m., are processed overnight and
can be picked up at 8:004.m. the next day. The t¡me for customs clearance would be recorded as
24 hours because the actual procedure took 24 hours.
costi lnsurance cost and informal paymenLs forwhich no receipt is issued are excluded from the
costs recorded, costs are reported in U.S. dollars. Contributors are asked to convertlocal currency
into U,S. dollars based on ihe exchange rate prevailing on the day they answer the quest¡onnaire,
contr¡butors are pr¡vate sector experts in international trade loglstics and are informed about
exchange rates.
Assumptlons of the case studyt- For all 190 economies covered by Dorng Business, lt is ôssumed a shipment ¡s in a warehouse in
the largest business city of the exportlng economy and travels to a warehouse in the largest
business city of the import¡ng economy.
- lt is assumed each economy imports 15 metric tons ofcontainer¡zed auto parts (HS 8708) from
its natural import partner-the economy from which it imports the largest value (pr¡ce times
quantity) of auto parts. lt is assumed each economy exports the product of its comparative
advantage (defined by the largest export value) to its natural export partner-the economy that is
the largest purchaser ofthis product, Shipmentvalue is assumed to be $50,000'
- The mode of transport is the one most widely used for the chosen export or ¡mport product and
the trading partner, as is the seaport or land border crossing.
- All electronic information submlssions requested by any government agency in connection with
the sh¡pment are considered to be documents obtained, prepared and submltted dur¡ng the export
or import process.
- A port or border is a plôce (seaport or land border cross¡ngl where merchandise can enter or
leave an economy.- Relevant government agencies include customs, port authorities, road police, border guards,
standardization agencies, m¡nistr¡es or departments of agriculture or lndustry, natlonal securlty
agenc¡es and any other government authorit¡es.

1. ln this chapter the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them
(a) Bars and rods
XV76-1
Rolled, extruded, drawn or forged products, not in coils, which have a uniform solid cross section along their whole length in
the shape of circles, ovals, rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex polygons (including "flattened
circles" and "modified rectangles", of which two opposite sides are convex arcs, the other two sides being straight, of equallength and parallel). Products with a rectangular (including square), triangular or polygonal cross section may have corners
rounded along their whole length. The thickness of such products which have a rectangular (including "modified rectangula/')
cross section exceeds one-tenth of the width. The expression also covers cast or sintered products, of the same forms and
dimensions, which have been subsequently worked after production (otherwise than by simple trimming or descaling), provided
that they have not thereby assumed the character of articles or products of other headings.
(b) Profiles
Rolled, extruded, drawn, forged orformed products, coiled or not, of a uniform cross section along theirwhole length, which
do not conform to any of the definitions of bars, rods, wire, plates, sheets, strip, foil, tubes or pipes. The expression also
covers cast or sintered products, of the same forms, which have been subsequently worked after production (otherwise than
by simple trimming or descaling), provided that they have not thereby assumed the character of articles or products of other
headings.
(c) \Mre
Rolled, extruded or drawn products, in coils, which have a uniform solid cross section along their whole length in the shape
of circles, ovals, rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex polygons (including "flattened circles"
and "modified rectangles", of which two opposite sides are convex arcs, the other two sides being straight, of equal length
and parallel). Products with a rectangular (including square), triangular or polygonal cross section may have cornefs rounded
along their whole length. The thickness of such products which have a rectangular (including "modified rectangulaf') cross
section exceeds one-tenth of the width.
ldl Plates. sheets. strio and foil
Flaþsurfaced products (other than the unwrought products of heading 7601), coiled or not, of solid rectangular (other than
square) cross section with or w¡thout rounded corners (including "modified rectangles" of which two opposite sides are convex
arcs, the other two sides being straight, of equal length and parallel) of a uniform thickness, which are:
- of rectangular (including square) shape with a thickness not exceeding one-tenth of the width,
- of a shape other than rectangular or square, of any size, provided that they do not assume the character of articles orproducts of other headings.
Headings 7606 and 7607 apply,inter alia , to plates, sheets, strip and foil with patterns (for example, grooves, ribs, checkers,
tears, þuttons, lozenges) and to such products which have been perforated, corrugated, polished or coated, provided that
they do not thereby assume the character of articles or products of other headings.
(e) Tubes and pipes
Hollow products, coiled or not, which have a uniform cross section with only one enclosed void along theirwhole length in
the shape of circles, ovals, rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex polygons, and whlch have
a uniform wall thickness. Products with a rectangular (including square), equilateral triangular or regular convex polygonal
cross section, which may have corners rounded along their whole length, are also to be considered as tubes and pipes
provided the inner and outer cross sections are concentric and have the same form and orientation. Tubes and pipes of theforegoing cross sections may be polished, coated, bent, threaded, drilled, waisted, expanded, cone-shaped orfitted with
flanges, collars or rings.
