4.

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.
5. Article 1(2) may be amended to add new exporting producers from the Federative Republic of Brazil and make them subject to the appropriate weighted average anti-dumping duty rate for cooperating companies not included in the sample. A new exporting producer shall provide evidence that:
(a)
it did not export the goods described in Article 1(1) originating in the Federative Republic of Brazil during the period between 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016 (‘original investigation period’);
(b)
it is not related to any exporting producer subject to the anti-dumping duties imposed by this Regulation; and
(c)
it has either actually exported the product under review originating in the Federative Republic of Brazil or has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union after the end of the original investigation period.
6. For the individually named producers and in cases where goods have been damaged before entry into free circulation and, therefore, the price actually paid or payable is apportioned for the determination of the customs value pursuant to Article 131(2) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 ( 52 ) , the definitive duty rate set out above shall be reduced by a percentage which corresponds to the apportioning of the price actually paid or payable. The duty payable will then be equal to the difference between the reduced definitive duty rate and the reduced net, free-at-Union-frontier price, before customs clearance.
7. For all other companies and in cases where goods have been damaged before entry into free circulation and, therefore, the price actually paid or payable is apportioned for the determination of the customs value pursuant to Article 131(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 the amount of anti-dumping duty, calculated on the basis of the amounts set above, shall be reduced by a percentage which corresponds to the apportioning of the price actually paid or payable.
8. Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
