Article 1

1. 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 under CN codes ex 7225 11 00 (TARIC Codes 7225110011 , 7225110015 and 7225110019 ) and ex 7226 11 00 (TARIC codes 7226110012 , 7226110014 , 7226110016 , 7226110092 , 7226110094 and 7226110096 ) and originating in the People’s Republic of China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation and the United States of America.

2. The amount of the definitive anti-dumping duty applicable to the product described in paragraph 1 and produced by the individually named companies 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.

3. For the purpose of paragraph 2, the minimum import price set out in the table below shall apply.

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.

7. 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 131(2) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 ( 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.

For 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 131(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447, the amount of the anti-dumping duty, calculated on the basis of paragraph 2 above, shall be reduced by a percentage which corresponds to the apportioning of the price actually paid or payable.
