AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation integrates the previous rules from Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 into Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2834 to simplify and streamline EU law. It establishes detailed procedures for calculating additional import duties on poultrymeat, eggs and egg albumin based on representative prices and trigger prices listed in a new Annex XVII. The additional duty is calculated using a tiered percentage system depending on how much the CIF import price falls below the trigger price. It also clarifies the water/protein ratio definition for 'B-products' in frozen beef tariff quotas (order numbers 09.0163 and 09.0164) to 3.2:1. Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 is repealed.

What this law requires
Apply additional import duties to poultrymeat, eggs, egg albumin, and frozen beef products listed in CN codes in Annex XVII based on the tiered percentage system when CIF import price falls below trigger prices
Calculate additional duties using the tiered system: no duty if difference ≤10% of trigger price; 30% of excess if >10% but ≤40%; 50% of excess plus prior duty if >40% but ≤60%; 70% of excess plus prior duties if >60% but ≤75%; 90% of excess plus prior duties if >75%
Importers with CIF import price higher than applicable representative price must submit to competent authorities: purchasing contract, insurance contract, invoice, certificate of origin (where applicable), transport contract, and bill of lading (for sea transport)
Importers must provide a guarantee equal to the difference between additional duties calculated on representative price and CIF import price when CIF price exceeds representative price
Importers must provide proof of product disposal conditions within two months of sale or nine months from date of release for free circulation (whichever is earlier) to confirm price claims or lose the guarantee lodged
