Manufacturers and feed turbines give a contribution 600 Yen ($4.3)/MT1 and 1,200 Yen ($8.6)/MT respectively to fund the common repayment program. When the typical import worth of elements in a specific quarter exceeds 115% of the usual worth, a secondary fund, the “supplemental repayment” fund, makes up the variation to manufacturers.
