Countervailing subsidy calculation requires benefit-based valuation, commercial benchmarks, input verification, and controlled allocation over the investigation period
The amended rules calculate countervailable subsidy by reference to the benefit existing during the investigation period. Government loans, guarantees, goods, services, purchases, and equity are assessed against comparable commercial or market benchmarks.
