Import Administration - Antidumping Duty . Foreign Currency Exchange Rates - posted quarterly
    last update: January 16, 2013
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

  NOTE:   These are NOT commercial currency exchange rates.   These rates are calculated using the SAS
program also available on this page, and are intended for use only in calculating antidumping duties.

The Department of Commerce ("the Department") has revised its policy regarding currency conversions to conform to changes resulting from the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. We announced this change in methodology in the notice entitled, "Change in Policy Regarding Currency Conversion," published in the Federal Register at (61 FR 9434; March 8, 1996). The computer program used and the new official daily exchange rate files are available below.
SAS Computer Program
For a specified country, the program converts a file of actual daily exchange rates to a file of "official" daily exchange rates. In this process, each actual daily exchange rate is classified as "normal" or "fluctuating." An extended pattern of appreciating rates defines a "sustained movement." Based on these classifications, the program assigns the appropriate official exchange rate for each day.
The program produces two types of official daily exchange rates for each country. For purposes of antidumping" ("AD") investigations, the program classifies the daily rates as "normal," "fluctuating," or "sustained movement." For purposes of AD administrative reviews, the program classifies the daily rates as "normal" or "fluctuating." Since the two types of daily exchange rates differ, use the exchange rate variable ending in an "I" for AD investigations and the exchange rate variable ending in "R" for AD administrative reviews.

Official Daily Exchange Rates:     For the countries listed below, the actual daily exchange rates used in the program were acquired either from the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.10 on the web, or from Dow Jones Reuters Business Interactive LLC (trading as Factiva) (a fee-based service). All currencies listed below are denominated in U.S. dollars per foreign currency unit. Exchange rates for additional countries will be made available by the Department as needed for AD purposes.


Exchange rate files are scheduled to be updated quarterly

Last Updated: January 16, 2013
  •   Effective October 1, 2005, IA will only update the Euro rates and will no longer update the exchange rates for the 12 individual countries now using the Euro. For historical purposes, we will continue to list through June 30, 2005, the separate national currency rates for these Euro countries. Luxembourg rates are not listed because there have been no cases for several years.

  • •   Effective October 1, 2011, IA will no longer update the exchange rates for Ecuador as the currency has been dollarized. For historical purposes, we will continue to list the separate national currency rates for Ecuador through July 8, 2011.
