The application of the individual duty rates specified for the companies is conditional upon presentation to the Member States’ customs authorities of a valid commercial invoice, on which appears a declaration dated and signed by an official of the entity issuing such invoice, identified by name and function, as follows:

‘I, the undersigned, certify that the (volume) of (product concerned) sold for export to the European Union covered by this invoice was manufactured by (company name and address) (TARIC additional code) in [country concerned].

I declare that the information provided in this invoice is complete and correct.’

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

Should the countervailing duty be amended or removed the anti-dumping duty will be increased proportionately.

The reduction of the anti-dumping duty rate, for some producers, reflects the amount of countervailing duty that needs to be taken into account. It does not, generally, give rise to a refund request.

Countervailing duty (and anti-dumping duty) will not apply to imports of the product during the discontinued registration period.

CHIEF has been updated.
