Notice concerning anti-dumping measures on imports of stainless steel fasteners and parts thereof originating in India

(2003/C 92/10)

By its Judgment of 21 November 2002 in case T-88/98, Kundan Industries Limited and Tata International Limited v Council of the European Union, the Court of First Instance of the European Communities (CFI) annulled Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 393/98 of 16 February 1998 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of stainless steel fasteners and parts thereof originating in the People's Republic of China, India, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand(1), insofar as it imposes an anti-dumping duty on exports to the European Community of products manufactured by Kundan Industries Limited and exported by Tata International Limited which exceeds the duty which would apply but for an adjustment to the export price made in respect of a commission. As stated in Council Regulation (EC) No 695/2003(2), the non-inclusion of that adjustment leads to a reduction of the dumping margin, and therefore the anti-dumping duty from 47,4 % to 45,4 %.

Consequently, the definitive anti-dumping duties paid pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 393/98 on imports into the European Community of stainless steel fasteners and parts thereof falling within CN codes 7318 12 10, 7318 14 10, 7318 15 30, 7318 15 51, 7318 15 61, 7318 15 70 and 7318 16 30 manufactured by Kundan and exported by Tata (under TARIC additional code 8416) should be reimbursed to the extent that they exceeded 45,4 %. The reimbursement must be requested from national customs authorities in accordance with applicable national customs legislation.
