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 his/her name and function, drafted as follows:
‘I, the undersigned, certify that the (volume in tonnes ) of organic coated steel products sold for export to the European Union covered by this invoice was 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.’
Until such invoice is presented, the duty applicable to all other imports originating in the People’s Republic of China shall apply.
4. Article 1(2) may be amended to add new exporting producers from 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) originating in China during the period between 1 October 2010 and 30 September 2011 (‘original investigation period’);
(b)
it is not related to an exporter or producer subject to the measures imposed by this Regulation, and which have or could have cooperated in the investigation that led to the duty; and
(c)
it has either actually exported the product under review originating in China or has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union after the end of the original investigation period.
5. Should the definitive countervailing duties imposed by Article 1 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1506 ( 56 ) be modified or removed, the duties specified in paragraph 2 will be increased by the same proportion limited to the actual dumping margin found or the injury margin found as appropriate per company and from the entry into force of this Regulation.
6. In cases where the countervailing duty has been subtracted from the anti-dumping duty for certain exporting producers, refund requests under Article 21 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1037 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 57 ) shall also trigger the assessment of the dumping margin for that exporting producer prevailing during the refund investigation period. The amount to be reimbursed to the applicant for refund cannot exceed the difference between the duty collected and the combined countervailing and anti-dumping duty established in the refund investigation.
7. Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
