The Commission, in Implementing Regulation 2020/1428 OJ ref. L336, has imposed provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of aluminium extrusions, originating in the People's Republic of China.

The regulation takes effect from 14 October 2020.

Products affected by provisional measures:

bars, rods, profiles (whether or not hollow), tubes, pipes

unassembled products

whether or not prepared for use in structures (for example cut-to-length, drilled, bent, chamfered, threaded)

made from aluminium, whether or not alloyed, containing not more than 99.3% of aluminium

The products are currently classified with TARIC codes:

The following products are excluded:

products attached (for example by welding or fasteners) to form subassemblies

welded tubes and pipes

products in a packaged kit with the necessary parts to assemble a finished product without further finishing or fabrication of the parts (‘finished goods kit’)

The rates of the provisional anti-dumping duty applicable to the net, free-at-Union-frontier price, before duty, of the product described and produced by the companies listed below, will be as follows:

The application of the individual duty rates specified for the companies mentioned is conditional upon presentation to the member states’ customs authorities of a valid commercial invoice, on which must appear a declaration dated and signed by an official of the entity issuing such invoice, identified by their name and function, drafted as follows:

‘I, the undersigned, certify that the (volume) of (product concerned) sold for export to the European Union covered by this invoice was manufactured by (company name and address) (TARIC additional code) in (country concerned). 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 will apply.

The release for free circulation of the product is subject to the provision of a security deposit equivalent to the amount of the provisional duty.

Provisional duty will apply for a period of six months.

Interested parties wishing to make their views known to the Commission, make submissions and request a hearing (within the short timescale available) should refer to 2020/1428 for further details.

Customs authorities are directed to discontinue the registration of imports. A decision about whether the anti-dumping duty will apply during the registration period (prior to the provisional duty) will be taken at the end of the investigation.
