Antidumping, Countervailing Duty, and International Pricing Analysis
Analyzing Cost of Production

Nearly every antidumping proceeding requires the analysis and calculation of model or product specific cost of production information. Capital Trade has worked on numerous antidumping proceedings involving cost of production on products as diverse as fresh cut flowers to semiconductors. We assist our clients by:

• Developing model or product specific costing systems for companies which lack such information in their normal accounting system
• Applying specialized current cost methodologies in "hyperinflationary" economies
• Assessing the reasonableness of company accounting methods and host country generally accepted accounting principles
• Conducting arm’s length pricing analysis of inputs provided by affiliated parties
• Calculating factor of production information for producers in economies considered to be "nonmarket"

Our extensive knowledge of cost of production issues can also be extremely useful in other arenas, such as antitrust, customs, and production efficiency analysis.

Firms can opt for discrete areas of assistance or the whole range of our services. For more information, contact:
