Initiation of an anti-subsidy investigation concerning imports of electronically power-assisted cycles, originating in the People’s Republic of China.
The investigation was announced in the Official Journal reference C440 dated 21 December 2017, relating to imports of cycles, with pedal assistance, with an auxiliary electric motor, originating in the People’s Republic of China.
For information only, the products currently fall within CN codes:
- 8711 6010 00
- 8711 6090 10
The above link gives details of how interested parties can make their views known.
The investigation must be concluded within 13 months, although it can be terminated earlier.
A decision to impose provisional duties can be taken after a minimum of 60 days from the start of the formal investigation but it’s usually imposed for the last 4 months of the investigation. If this happens, a security to the value of countervailing duty is taken on imports entering into free circulation and held until the results of the investigation are published.
At the end of the investigation, the provisional countervailing duty may be made definitive, may lapse or be cancelled. If, following the investigation, it is decided that the duty should be made definitive, the security will be brought to account. Definitive measures will normally remain in place for 5 years.
A decision to register imports of the product can be made up to 3 months before any provisional duty is imposed. If this happens countervailing duty can be applied retrospectively to imports from the start of the registration period until provisional or definitive duty is imposed.
