4.

I declare that the information provided in this invoice is complete and correct.’ If no such invoice is presented, the duty applicable to all other companies shall apply.
5. Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
6. Should the definitive countervailing duties imposed by Article 1 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2170 be modified or removed, the duties specified in paragraph 2 or in Annexes I and II 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.

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 shall also trigger the assessment of the dumping margin for that exporting producer prevailing during the refund investigation period.

(b) it is not related to an exporter or producer subject to the measures imposed by this Regulation; and
(c) it has either actually exported the goods described in Article 1(1) or has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union after the end of the period of investigation.
Article 3
The amounts secured by way of the provisional anti-dumping duty under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/983 shall be definitively collected. The amounts secured in excess of the definitive rates of the anti-dumping duty shall be released.
Article 4
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union .
