Published 28 January 2019

The Commission has imposed definitive anti-dumping and countervailing duties on imports of cycles, with pedal assistance, with an auxiliary electric motor, originating in the People’s Republic of China, in Implementing Regulations Official Journal ref. L16 2019/72 and Official Journal ref. L16 2019/73.

These regulations take effect from 19 January 2019.

The products currently fall within commodity codes:

  • 8711 6010 00
  • 8711 6090 10

The rates of the definitive anti-dumping and countervailing duty applicable to the net, free-at-Union-frontier price, before duty, are shown in the table below.

Bodo Vehicle Group Co. Ltd 15.1% 58.3% C382
Giant Electric Vehicle (Kunshan) Co. Ltd 3.9% 20.7% C383

Yongkang Hulong Electric Vehicle Co. Ltd

Suzhou Rununion Motivity Co. Ltd 17.2% 62.1% C385
Yadea Technology Group Co. Ltd 10.7% 37.4% C463

Cooperating companies in CVD but not ADD investigations listed in Annex III 9.2% 70.1% See Annex 3

The application of the individual duty rates for the companies listed is conditional upon the presentation to customs authorities of a valid commercial invoice, which contains the following declaration:

‘I the undersigned, certify that the (volume) of electric cycles sold for export to the European Union covered by this invoice were manufactured by (company name and address) (TARIC additional code) in the People’s Republic of China. I declare that the information provided in this invoice is complete and correct.’

This declaration must be dated and signed by an official of the entity issuing the invoice, identified by their name and function.

If no such invoice is presented, the duty applicable to ‘all other companies’ will apply.

New exporting producers may apply to the Commission to be added to the list of co-operating producers, subject to meeting conditions (see regulations for details).

The duties will not be retrospectively applied to imports registered prior to the provisional anti-dumping duty. Registration will now be discontinued.

Amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duty will be definitively collected. Amounts secured in excess of the definitive anti-dumping duty rate may be reclaimed from National Import Duty Adjustment Centre or National Duty Repayment Centre (see instructions below).

Where the countervailing duty has been subtracted from the anti-dumping duty for certain producers, refund requests under article 21 of the basic anti-subsidy regulation, will trigger the assessment of the dumping margin for that producer in the refund investigation period.

Default interest to be paid in case of reimbursement that gives rise to a right to payment of default interest will be the rate applied by the European Central Bank to its principal refinancing operations, as published in the C series of the Official Journal, in force on the first calendar day of the month in which the deadline falls, increased by 1 decimal point.

Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight (CHIEF) has been updated. The printed tariff will be updated in the March amendments.

Read Your Charter to find out what you can expect from HMRC and what HMRC expect from you.

Repayment of secured provisional anti-dumping duty

Traders, including customs freight simplified procedures (CFSP), who are entitled to repayments of secured ADD or CVD are now required to submit claims to the National Import Duty Adjustment Centre (NIDAC).

Claims must include a copy of the original import declaration and commercial documents such as invoices and transport documents. Where traders have claimed a company specific rate of duty, they must provide documentation to support this claim. To receive a quicker and more secure repayment please include bank details with the claim so that the bank account can be credited directly.

Security will be held for 4 months from the Definitive ruling date. After this time claims will need to be submitted to the National Duty Repayment Centre.
