Tsoucalas, Judge:

In accordance with the decision (Nov. 29, 1995) and mandate (Dec. 4,1995) of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, Appeal Nos. 94-1188 and 94-1185, remanding this case with instructions, it is

Ordered that the decision of this Court in Torrington Company v. United States, 17 CIT 1329, 850 F. Supp. 1 (1993), that the Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration (“Commerce”) incorrectly adjusted USP for Italy’s value added tax (“VAT”) is vacated; and it is further

Ordered that the partial judgment and order of this Court in Torring-ton, dated December 10,1993, which directed Commerce to apply Italy’s VAT rate to United States price (“USP”) calculated at the same point in the stream of commerce as where Italy’s VAT rate is applied for home market sales and add the resulting amount to USP is vacated; it is further

Ordered that, as Commerce has informed the Court that it now wishes to return to the tax-neutral methodology that was found by the appellate court to be reasonable, this case is remanded to Commerce to recalculate the final dumping margins at issue by implementing the change in tax adjustment methodology based on the amount of foreign tax, rather than tax rate, to establish the dumping margins; and it is further

Ordered that Commerce will report the results of this remand to the Court within sixty (60) days of the entry of this order.
