I declare that the information provided in this invoice is complete and correct.’ If no such invoice is presented, the duty rate applicable to ‘all other companies’ shall apply.

1 In cases where goods have been damaged before entry into free circulation and, therefore, the price actually paid or payable is adjusted for the determination of the customs value pursuant to Article 132 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 the amount of anti-dumping duty, calculated on the basis of Article 1 above, shall be reduced by a percentage which corresponds to the adjustment of the price actually paid or payable.

2 Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.

Article 1(2) may be amended by adding a new exporting producer to the cooperating companies not included in the sample and thus subject to the weighted average duty rate of 499,6 EUR/Tonne net product weight where any new exporting producer in the People’s Republic of China provides sufficient evidence to the Commission that it: (a) did not export to the Union the product described in Article 1(1) during the original investigation period (1 October 2006 to 30 September 2007); (b) is not related to any of the exporting producers in the People’s Republic of China which are subject to the measures imposed by this Regulation; and (c) has either actually exported to the Union the product concerned or has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union after the end of the review investigation period.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
