Article 1
United Kingdom
A definitive anti-dumping duty is imposed on imports of grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel, of a thickness of more than 0,16 mm, currently falling within CN codes ex 7225 11 00 (TARIC Codes 7225 11 00 11, 7225 11 00 15 and 7225 11 00 19) and ex 7226 11 00 (TARIC codes 7226 11 00 12, 7226 11 00 14, 7226 11 00 16, 7226 11 00 92, 7226 11 00 94 and 7226 11 00 96) and originating in the People's Republic of China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation and the United States of America.
The amount of the definitive anti-dumping duty applicable to the product described in paragraph 1 and produced by the named legal entities as set out in paragraph 4 shall be the difference between the minimum import prices fixed in paragraph 3 and the net free-at-Union-frontier price, before duty, if the latter is lower than the former. No duty shall be collected where the net free-at-Union-frontier price is equal to or higher than the corresponding minimum import price fixed in paragraph 3. In no event shall the amount of the duty be higher than the ad valorem duty rates set in paragraph 4.
For the purpose of paragraph 2, the minimum import price set out in the table below shall apply. Where it is found, following post-importation verification, that the net free-at-Union-frontier price actually paid by the first independent customer in the Union (post-importation price) is below the net free-at-Union-frontier price, before duty, as resulting from the customs declaration, and the post-importation price is lower than the minimum import price, an amount of duty equivalent to the difference between the minimum import price set out in the table below and the post-importation price shall apply, unless the application of the ad valorem duty set out in paragraph 4 plus the post-importation price lead to an amount (price actually paid plus ad valorem duty) which remains below the minimum import price set out in the table below.
| Countries concerned | Product range | Minimum Import Price(EUR/tonne net product weight) |
|---|---|---|
| People's Republic of China, Japan, United States of America, Russian Federation, Republic of Korea | Products with a maximum core loss not higher than 0,9 W/kg | EUR 2 043 |
| Products with a maximum core loss higher than 0,9 W/kg but not higher than 1,05 W/kg | EUR 1 873 | |
| Products with a maximum core loss higher than 1,05 W/kg | EUR 1 536 |
For the purpose of paragraph 2, the ad valorem duty rates set out in the table below shall apply.

The application of the measures for the companies mentioned in paragraph 4 shall be conditional upon presentation to the customs authorities of the Member States of a valid commercial invoice and a mill certificate, which shall conform to the requirements as set out in respectively Annexes I and II. If neither the mill certificate nor the invoice is presented, the duty applicable to all other companies shall apply. This mill certificate shall list the actual maximum core loss for each coil in Watts per kilogram at a frequency of 50 Hz and a magnetic induction of 1,7 Tesla.
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 145 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (OJ L 253, 11.10.1993, p. 1), the minimum import price 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 minimum import price and the reduced net, free-at-Union-frontier price, before customs clearance.
X1For 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 145 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, the amount of the anti-dumping duty, calculated on the basis of paragraph 5 above, shall be reduced by a percentage which corresponds to the apportioning of the price actually paid or payable.
Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
