#62024CJ0889EU Court Allows Later Invoices for Lower Anti-Dumping Duties on Chinese Steel Fasteners
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
Importers of certain Chinese iron or steel fasteners may be able to correct a customs declaration after filing it if they later provide a valid commercial invoice needed for a company-specific anti-dumping duty rate. The ruling matters for businesses importing these goods into the EU. Customs authorities cannot automatically refuse a correction just because the invoice was issued or submitted after the original declaration. Importers still need to meet the invoice requirements and prove the goods qualify for the lower individual rate.

Obligations
What this law requires
For imports of certain iron or steel fasteners originating in China, EU customs authorities may not automatically refuse an importer’s request to amend a customs declaration solely because the commercial invoice required for an individual anti-dumping duty rate was issued or presented after the original declaration.
Importers seeking a company-specific anti-dumping duty rate for Chinese iron or steel fasteners must present a valid commercial invoice meeting the requirements of Article 1(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/191.
The availability of a lower individual anti-dumping duty rate depends on the importer proving that the goods qualify for that individual rate under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/191, including through the required commercial invoice.
