	United States - WT/DS179/R
		The DOC concluded that use of the won amount was appropriate because the customers paid in won, the merchandise was charged to the sales ledger in won, and the exchange rate used by POSCO to calculate the won equivalent of the dollar amount was dissimilar to the "market" exchange rate used by the DOC.
		In short, the DOC concluded that local sales were made in won because the amount to be paid was fixed in won on the date of invoice irrespective of subsequent movements in the won/dollar exchange rate between the date of invoice and the date of payment.
		Rather, the won amount ultimately paid would be determined by converting the dollar amount appearing on the invoice into won at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment.
