The Commission requested and received detailed written submissions from the applicant exporter and verified the information therein to the extent considered necessary. B. Normal value For the purpose of establishing normal value, representative types of single-row deep-groove radial ball bearings were selected which togehter represented about two-thirds of all exports by Sapporo Precision Incorporated to the Community. Normal value for these types was established on the basis of the weighted average price paid for iden- tical types by unrelated domestic purchasers. In those cases where the producer/exporter sold both directly to these purchasers and through a controlled sales company, the combined weighted average of sales prices to unrelated purchasers was taken.
