| 43. | Therefore, in cases where there are significant imports, but trade between certain geographic areas or other supply and demand considerations are insufficient to lead to sufficiently homogeneous conditions of competition, the Commission does not extend the relevant geographic market to include the area from which the goods were exported. However, as part of the competitive assessment and when geographic markets are defined based on customer location, the Commission calculates market shares based on all sales to customers in the relevant geographic market, including sales from both local suppliers and importers. The Commission also fully takes into account the competitive constraint from imports in the relevant market in other ways in the competitive assessment, for instance by examining whether imports are likely to expand in the future when the case requires a forward-looking assessment (68).
