*Based on U.S. sales only.
**Sales would be counted only once. For example, if an international member sells product to a U.S. manufacturing member for subsequent resale, the VI dues based on U.S. sales for this product would only be paid by one of the member companies. The impacted companies should determine who will count these sales for purpose of dues calculations.
