For U.S. sales of subject merchandise to two customers, *

10、 and *, the Department found that Hebei Jikai paid the international freight cost of shipping the merchandise from China to the United States. Hebei Jikai had reported in its response that sales to these customers were made on a FOB basis. Although Hebei Jikai claimed that they were reimbursed by th

11、e customer for the cost of the international freight, company officials were unable to provide documentation to support the claim of reimbursement. We found that the international freight was provided by a non-market economy carrier. For the sales to *, we noted that the merchandise was shipped via

12、air. See Exhibit 20.1、销售给美国两客户的货物美国商务部发现冀凯承担了从中国到美国的运费，而冀凯报告中说他们发给这两个客户的货物价格是FOB 价，尽管冀凯声明这两个客户退还了运费，但他们提供不出相关的证明。我们发现为他们发货的是非市场经济的承运人，而且是空运。2. During the plant tour, we discussed with company officials the use of certain materials, considered by Hebei Jikai to be auxiliary, in the production of diam

13、ond sawblades, including nitrogen gas, hybrid gas, graphite molds, and aluminum plated bags. Company officials explained that nitrogen gas is used to protect the powder at the self-made powder mixing stage.

The hybrid gas mixture was purchased from a company in *. Company officials explained that graphite molds are only used in the production of laser-welded diamon

16、d sawblades, with sintered diamond sawblades using steel molds. They explained that graphite molds are replaced after approximately * uses and steel molds, some of which are self-produced, are replaced after approximately * uses. There were * kilograms of graphite molds purchased during the POI. Heb

17、ei Jikai did not have information regarding consumption of graphite molds. The factor usage per converted production quantity was *kilograms per piece. The supplier of the graphite molds is located in *, a distance of * kilometers from Shijiazhuang. In the plant tour, we noticed that the self-made p

18、owders and excess diamond mixture powders are stored in aluminum plated bags. The bag were purchased from a supplier in *. During the POI, Hebei Jikai purchased * bags. The factor usage of the bags during the POI was * kilograms per kilogram. See Section XIV for more information.2、在冀凯车间，我们与他们讨论了这列材料

19、的用途，这些材料冀凯认为是生产金刚石锯片的辅助材料，包括：氮气、混合气体、石墨模具及铝铂袋子。冀凯的人解释说氮气是用来保护在自制的混料机中的粉料的。冀凯说在涉案期内他们使用了*立方米的氮气，每公斤使用*立方米。氮气是从位于 的一家公司购买的，冀凯的人结实说混合气体是用在激光切割机上，这种混合气体只能从卖给他们激光切割机的公司购买。在 2005 年，冀凯共购入 瓶 （13 公升/瓶）混合气体，这种混合气体是从位于 的一家公司购进的。冀凯的人说石墨模具只用来生产激光焊锯片，而烧结锯片使用钢模具。他们解释说石墨模具大概用 次就要更换，而钢模具，有一些是公司自己做的，大概使有 次就要更换，在核查期内，

20、冀凯共购进了 公斤石墨模具。冀凯不能提供石墨模具的消耗量。要素每种产品的转换的数量是公斤每片。石墨模具的供应商在 ，距离石家庄 公里。在工厂，我们注意到冀凯自制的粉末和金刚石混合粉末是储存在铝铂袋子里，这种袋子从 购买的。核查期内，冀凯共购买了 袋，涉案期内这种袋子使用要素是每公斤 公斤。3. In the course of the plant tour, Department officials noted that Hebei Jikai stocked steel according to its grade (e.g., 30CrMo) and dimension. We reque

21、sted that Hebei Jikai report all dimensions and grades of steel used to produce the merchandise under investigation. From its ERP system, Hebei Jikai provided such a list. See Exhibit 18. Steel plate 30 CrMo ranges in size from 2.6 mm x 350 mm to 3.0 mm x 500 mm. Steel strip 30 CrMo has one dimensio

22、n only: 2.2 mm x 220 x L. Steel plate 65 Mn ranges in size from 1.8 x 300 to 2.3 x 350. Steel strip 65 Mn ranges in size from 1.23 x 98 to 2 x 250. A3 plate ranges in size from 3 to 4 mm in thickness.3、在参观工厂的过程中，商务部的官员们注意到河北冀凯有关于钢材的等级（如30CrMo）和密度的记录。我们要求河北冀凯报告生产涉案产品所使用的所有钢材的等级和密度。从它的ERP系统中，河北冀凯提供了这样

23、一个列表。见附件18。钢盘30铬钼的尺寸是从2.6 mm x 350 mm到3.0 mm x 500 mm。钢带30铬钼的尺寸只有2.2 mm x 220 x L。钢盘65锰的尺寸是从1.8 x 300到2.3 x 350。钢带65锰的尺寸是从1.23 x 98到2 x 250。A3盘的厚度尺寸是从3到4mm。4. We found that for certain U.S. sales observations, the gross weight was less than the net weight. Company officials explained that this discr

24、epancy was due to the fact that while net weight was actual, gross weight was based on the packing list. See Section XI.4、我们发现对于某个抽样的美国销售，毛重比净重少。公司的官员解释到，这个差异是因为净重是实际重量，而毛重是以包装清单为基础的。见附件XI。5. We found that yield loss was calculation on the basis of actual consumption rather than standard consumption

25、. See Section XIV, Steel for more details. 5、我们发现，收益损失是根据实际消耗计算的，而不是标准消耗。见附件XIV，更多的情况见钢材。II.II.

29、9 of its November 3, 2005, response. Company officials explained that for three product codes/CONNUMs, they had failed to convert the usage amount from grams to kilograms for copper plate. We examined the bill of materials (“BOM”) for each of the affected product codes and confirmed that the usage r

30、ates per the BOM were in grams. Because the FOP table indicated that the usage rates were expressed in kilograms, it was necessary to multiply the usage factors by 1000.河北冀凯在9月20日提呈附件V-2-2中提供了产品成本计算表，答复中2004年库存期初的数量和价值有一个错误。公司的官员们解释到，产生这一错误的原因是误用了2005年11月3日附件SD-29中生产要素数据表中一个更正的数据。公司的官员们解释到，有三个控制编码，它

31、们没有将其用量的单位由克转换为公斤。我们检查了每个受影响的产品编码的BOM，确定了BOM中用的单位是克。因为在FOP表中，要求单位用公斤，所有需要将这些用量乘以1000。III.III. CORPORATECORPORATE STRUCTURESTRUCTURE ANDAND ORGANIZATIONORGANIZATIONIIIIII、公司结构及组织结构、公司结构及组织结构A.
