Tulli. The duty continues after an expiry review under Article 11(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036

Europa and injury to Union producers
Europa, and that no compelling Union-interest reasons opposed maintaining them

The individual company rates apply only against a valid commercial invoice presented to the Member State customs authoritiesEuropa. The invoice must carry a declaration dated and signed by an official of the issuing entity, identified by name and function

A new Chinese exporting producer can still join the cooperating-companies rate of 499,6 EUR per tonneEuropa. It must show the Commission that it did not export the product to the Union during the original investigation period of 1 October 2006 to 30 September 2007
Europa, that it is not related to any producer subject to the measures
Europa, and that it has actually exported the product or entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity after the review investigation period
Europa. Where goods were damaged before entry into free circulation and the customs value is adjusted, the duty is reduced by the same percentage as the price adjustment.
