Therefore, it was considered appropriate to reflect the Court of Justice's finding also in the classification of articles falling under heading 7325.\n(4)\nImplementing Regulation (EU) 2018/140 concerning certain articles of spheroidal graphite cast iron (also known as ductile cast iron) continues to refer to their classification under CN code 7325 99 10 as other articles of malleable cast iron.\n(5)\nTherefore, CN code ex 7325 99 10 (TARIC code 7325 99 10 51) should be replaced by CN code ex 7325 99 90 (TARIC code 7325 99 90 80) among the codes listed in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/140 with regard to goods the imports of which are subject to the definitive anti-dumping duty.\n(6)\nTo ensure the effective collection of the anti-dumping duties in place, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/140 should be amended accordingly.\n(7)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
