extensive coordination between sales
and production that is required on
‘‘order by order’’ sales and enables
Nishiyama to produce MCS during the
non–peak season. Nishiyama contends
that the ‘‘LOT 2’’ sales are made to small
calendar manufacturers that do not
provide estimates to Nishiyama, rather,
Nishiyama produces MCS for these
customers on an ‘‘order by order’’ basis.
Nishiyama maintains that there is a
shorter production lead time for this
type of customer. Nishiyama also
maintains that it has to make significant
additional efforts to coordinate sales
and production due to the shorter
delivery schedules, smaller orders, and
level of customization. Nishiyama
claims that the U.S. sales more closely
correspond to ‘‘LOT 1’’ because the U.S.
customers place orders with longer lead
times and do not require significant
time for coordination with the customer.
In our original questionnaire and our
supplemental questionnaire, we asked
Nishiyama to provide a complete list of
all the selling activities performed and
services offered in the U.S. market and
the home market for each claimed LOT.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.412(c)(2),
substantial differences in selling
activities are a necessary condition for
determining there is a difference in the
stage of marketing. While Nishiyama
claimed that there were some
differences between these distribution
channels, which it claimed constitute
separate LOTs, we find that these
differences are not differences in selling
functions and do not create two LOTs.
Information submitted by Nishiyama
with respect to its claimed LOTs
primarily focused on the differences in
the lead times for the order, the size of
the manufacturers making the orders,
and the amount of coordination needed
when dealing with large versus small
manufacturers. Nishiyama did not
submit any information on the specific
selling activities and functions for each
proposed LOT nor did it define the
stages of marketing of each proposed
LOT. Nishiyama has not demonstrated
substantial differences in the selling
activities in the U.S. market and home
market. As such, Nishiyama has not
adequately supported its claim that it
has two LOTs in the home market and
a different, separate LOT in the U.S.
market, or that we should grant it an
LOT adjustment.
