5. We deducted certain commissions
paid on sales to one U.S. customer.
6. We adjusted domestic inventory
carrying costs to include both days at
sea and days in inventory at the factory.
7. We adjusted the reported homemarket interest rate to reflect only loans
denominated in rubles.
8. We recalculated inventory carrying
costs to reflect the revised interest rates.
9. We used home-market indirect
selling expenses as reported in the cost
database, not those figures reported in
the sales database.
10. We recalculated U.S. indirect
selling expenses using the latest total
U.S. sales figure.
11. We adjusted the reported value of
carnallite purchased from an affiliated
supplier in accordance with the major
input rule of section 773(f)(3) of the Act.
12. We adjusted the reported G&A
expense rate to include certain income
and expense items related to the general
operations of the company.
13. We removed selling expenses
which were incorrectly reported in the
cost of production (‘‘COP’’) file.
14. We adjusted the reported factory
overhead costs to reflect the amount of
factory overhead recorded in the
financial statements.
15. SMW provided multiple costs for
the same control number. We calculated
a single weighted-average cost for that
control number.
16. We adjusted the reported financial
expense rate to include net foreign
currency exchange gains and losses and
short-term interest income recorded as
non-operating items on SMW’s financial
statements.
17. We adjusted Solikamsk
Desulphurizer Works’ (‘‘SZD’’) reported
G&A expense rate to include certain
non-operating income and expense
items related to the general operations
of the company.
18. We removed selling expenses for
SZD which were incorrectly reported in
the COP file.
Final Determination Margins
We determine that the following
weighted-average dumping margins
exist for the period January 1, 2003,
through December 31, 2003:
Weightedaverage
margin

Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B) of the
Act, we will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to continue
to suspend liquidation of all entries of
magnesium from Russia that are
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after October 4,
2004, the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determination in the
Federal Register. We will instruct CBP
to continue to require, for each entry, a
cash deposit or the posting of a bond
equal to the weighted-average dumping
margins indicated above. These
instructions suspending liquidation will
remain in effect until further notice.
International Trade Commission
Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of
the Act, we have notified the U.S.
International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’)
of our determination. As our final
determination is affirmative, the ITC
will determine, within 45 days, whether
these imports are materially injuring, or
threatening material injury to, an
industry in the United States. If the ITC
determines that material injury, or
threat of injury does not exist, the
proceeding will be terminated and all
securities posted will be refunded or
canceled. If the ITC determines that
such injury does exist, the Department
will issue an antidumping order
directing CBP officials to assess
antidumping duties on all imports of the
subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the effective
date of the suspension of liquidation.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
This determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections
735(d) and 777(I)(1) of the Act.

Inc. (Flowline Division), Gerlin, Inc.,
Shaw Alloy Piping Products, Inc., and
Taylor Forge Stainless, Inc. (collectively
‘‘petitioners’’) requested an
antidumping duty administrative review
for Ta Chen, Liang Feng Stainless Steel
Fitting Co., Ltd., Tru–Flow Industrial
Co., Ltd., and PFP Taiwan Co., Ltd. On
