- Based on the findings of the circumvention investigation, the Council has decided that with effect from 1 January 2005, the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of coumarin originating in the mainland of China, falling within CN codes ex 2932 2100, is extended to imports of the same products consigned from India or Thailand, whether declared as originating in India or Thailand or not (TARIC codes 2932 21 00 11 and 2932 21 00 15 respectively).
- Imports shall be exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty provided that they are produced by companies from which undertakings are accepted by the Commission.
