3. The application of the individual duty rates specified for the companies mentioned in paragraph 2 shall be conditional upon presentation to the Member States’ customs authorities of a valid commercial invoice, on which shall appear a declaration dated and signed by an official of the entity issuing such invoice, identified by name and function, drafted as follows: ‘ I, the undersigned, certify that the (volume in unit we are using) 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. ’ Until such invoice is presented, the duty applicable to all other imports originating in the People’s Republic of China shall apply.
4. 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 ( 72 ) 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.
5. Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
The product described in Article 1(1) shall be exempted from definitive anti-dumping duty if it is imported for use in the production of white graphic inks for printing.
This exemption shall be subject to the conditions laid down in the customs provisions of the Union on the end-use procedure, in particular Article 254 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 73 ) (the Union Customs Code).
1. The amounts secured by way of the provisional anti-dumping duty under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1923 shall be definitively collected. The amounts secured in excess of the definitive rates of the anti-dumping duty shall be released.
2. The exemption under Article 2 shall also apply to the provisional anti-dumping duty under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1923.
Article 1(2) may be amended to add new exporting producers from the People’s Republic of China 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) during the period of investigation (1 October 2022 to 30 September 2023);
(b)
it is not related to an exporter or producer subject to the measures imposed by this Regulation, and which could have cooperated in the original investigation; and
(c)
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.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union .
