A definitive countervailing duty is hereby imposed on imports of polyethylene terephthalate having a viscosity of 78 ml/g or higher, according to ISO Standard 1628-5, falling within CN code 3907 60 20 and originating in India.

Except as provided for in Article 2, the rate of the countervailing duty applicable to the net, free-at-Community-frontier price, before duty for products manufactured by the companies listed below shall be as follows:

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 145 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93^f1, the amount of countervailing 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.

Notwithstanding paragraphs 1 and 2, the definitive countervailing duty shall not apply to imports released for free circulation in accordance with Article 2.

Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
