The individual duty rates for the companies above are conditional upon presentation to 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 their 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 (the 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 shall apply.
The amounts secured by way of the provisional anti-dumping duty will be definitively collected. The amounts secured in excess of the definitive rates of the anti-dumping duty may be reclaimed.
Definitive anti-dumping duty will not be backdated for imports registered prior to the imposition of provisional anti-dumping duty.
A new exporting producer from the People’s Republic of China may apply to the Commission to be subject to the appropriate weighted average anti-dumping duty rate for co-operating companies not included in the sample provided that it meets all these conditions:
- it did not export the goods described originating from China during the period of investigation (1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019)
- it is not related to an exporter or producer subject to the measures imposed by this Regulation
- it has either actually exported the product concerned or has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union after the end of the period of investigation
3.1 Repayment of secured provisional anti-dumping duty
Traders (including CFSP) who are entitled to repayments of secured anti dumping duty or countervailing duty 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 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:
