Email: trade-bicycle-parts@ec.europa.eu
Upon receipt of a request, the Commission shall acknowledge receipt forthwith.
Article 4
Admissibility of requests
A request shall be admissible where:
- (a) it contains evidence that the applicant is using essential bicycle parts for the production or assembly of bicycles or bicycle parts in quantities above the threshold set out in Article 14(c) or that the applicant has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to do so;
- (b) it provides prima facie evidence that the applicant’s assembly operations fall outside the scope of Article 13(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036; and
- (c) the applicant has not, within the 36 months preceding the request, been refused authorisation of exemption pursuant to this Article or Article 7(3) or (4), or had an exemption revoked pursuant to Article 10.
A reasonable period may be prescribed for the submission of any additional information required for the determination of the admissibility of a request. Where such evidence is not forthcoming within the period specified, the request shall be considered inadmissible.
The admissibility of a request which is duly substantiated pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 2 shall normally be determined within 45 days of its receipt. The applicant shall first be given an opportunity to comment on the Commission's conclusions as to the admissibility of the request.
Where a request is held inadmissible, it shall be rejected by a Decision in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 13(4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036.
Where a request is held admissible, an examination shall be initiated immediately and the applicant and the Member States shall be notified.
Article 5
Suspension of payment of the duties
As from the date of receipt of a request that has been declared admissible pursuant to Article 4, and pending a decision on its merits pursuant to Articles 6 and 7, payment of the customs debt in respect of the extended duty pursuant to Article 2(1) of the Reference Regulation shall be suspended in respect of any imports of essential bicycle parts declared for free circulation by the party under examination. A period of not less than 6 months prior to the receipt of the request is taken into consideration in order to establish prima facie compliance with the conditions set out in Article 4(1) and (2).
The competent authorities of the Member States shall make the suspension of payment of the extended duty subject to the provision of a guarantee of the extended duty in accordance with Title III, chapter 2 of the Union Customs Code ([^E0002]), in the event that the request is subsequently held inadmissible pursuant to Article 4(4), withdrawn pursuant to Article 7(5), or rejected pursuant to Article 7(3) or (4).
Article 6
Examination of the request
The Commission will identify an investigation period in order to decide whether to grant an exemption which will normally cover a period of 12, but not less than 6 months as of the date of suspension of payment of the extended duty on essential bicycle parts. In conducting its examination, the Commission may request additional information from the applicant for the examination period and/or carry out on-the-spot verifications.
Any party under examination shall ensure that, at any time, essential bicycle parts which it declares for free circulation are either used in its assembly operations, or assembly of other products, destroyed, or re-exported. It shall keep records of the essential bicycle parts delivered to it – and of the use made of them. These records shall be retained for 5 years from the date of suspension. The records and any necessary additional evidence and information shall be communicated to the Commission upon request.
The examination of the merits of a request shall normally be concluded within 12 months after the receipt of all information as referred to in Article 6(1).
Before a decision is adopted pursuant to Article 7, the applicant shall be informed of the Commission's conclusions on the merits of the request and shall be given an opportunity to comment thereon.
Article 7
Decision
Where the facts as finally ascertained show that the applicant’s assembly operations do not fall within the scope of Article 13(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036, the applicant’s exemption from the extended duty shall be authorised in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 13(4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036.
The decision shall have retroactive effect as from the date of receipt of the duly substantiated request referred to in Article 4(1). The applicant’s customs debt pursuant to Article 2(1) of the Reference Regulation shall be considered void from that date.
Where the criteria for exemption are not fulfilled, the request shall be rejected in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 13(4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 and the suspension of the payment of the extended duty referred to in Article 5 shall be lifted.
Any breach of obligations under Article 6(2) or any false declaration relating to a decision may constitute a reason for rejecting the request.
Where a request for exemption is withdrawn, it shall be considered not to have been lodged and the suspension of the payment of the extended duty referred to in Article 5 shall be lifted.
Article 8
Obligations of exempted parties
An exempted party shall ensure that, at all times:
- (a) its assembly operations remain outside the scope of Article 13(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036;
- (b) where it receives deliveries of essential bicycle parts which have been exempted from the extended duty pursuant to Article 2, those parts are either used in its assembly operations or assembly of other products, destroyed, re-exported, or resold to another exempted party.
An exempted party shall keep records of the essential bicycle parts of which it receives deliveries and of the use made of them. It shall retain those records and appropriate supporting evidence for 5 years. Those records shall be made available to the Commission on request.
Article 9
Review
The Commission may on its own initiative review the situation of an exempted party to verify that it respects its obligations under Article 8, including any matters related thereto.
A review shall consist of an examination covering a period which may be shorter than 6 months.
A review shall be initiated by Commission regulation after informing Member States. As of the date of the initiation of the review, imports from the party under review shall be registered pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, to ensure that, should the review result in a revocation of the exemption, measures may subsequently be applied against those imports from the date of such registration.
If an exempted party engages in customs misdeclaration of essential bicycle parts of Chinese origin, the Commission may initiate a review within the meaning of the first paragraph.
Investigations shall be carried out by the Commission. The Commission may be assisted by customs authorities and the investigation shall be concluded by Commission regulation acting in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 15(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036.
Article 10
Revocation of an exemption
An exemption shall be revoked in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 13(4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036, after the exempted party has been given an opportunity to comment:
- — where a review has shown that the exempted party’s assembly operations fall within the scope of Article 13(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036, or
- — where the exempted party is not using essential bicycle parts for the assembly operations in quantities above the threshold set out in Article 14(c), including where the party has been wound up or has otherwise ceased its assembly operations, or
- — at any rate, in the event of a repeated customs misdeclaration of any bicycle part, or
- — in the event of a breach of the party’s obligations pursuant to Article 8, or
- — in the event of a lack of cooperation after the adoption of the exemption decision.
Article 11
Pending requests
The requests of the parties listed in Annex I are admissible and examinations pursuant to Article 6 are hereby initiated.
The date of receipt within the meaning of Article 5 (1) of the requests referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article shall be deemed to be the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
Pending a decision on the merits of the requests of the parties listed in Annex I, the payment of the customs debt incurred for the extended duty pursuant to Article 2 of the Reference Regulation shall be suspended with effect from the date of the entry into force of that Regulation.
Decisions pursuant to Article 7 (2) in respect of the parties listed in Annex I shall have retroactive effect as from 20 April 1996. The applicant's customs debts in respect of the extended duty shall therefore be considered void from that date.
Article 12
Exempted parties
The parties listed in Annex II are hereby exempted from the extended duty with effect form 20 April 1996, or the day on which the exemption was granted by Commission decision, whichever is later.
Article 13
Procedural provisions
The relevant provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 concerning:

- — verification visits (Article 16),
- — non-cooperation (Article 18), and
- — confidentiality (Article 19),
shall apply to examinations pursuant to this Regulation.
Article 14
Exemption subject to end-use control
Where imports of essential bicycle parts are declared for free circulation by a person other than an exempted party or a party under examination pursuant to Article 5, as from the date of entry into force of the Reference Regulation, they shall be exempted from the application of the extended duty if declared in accordance with the TARIC structure in Annex III and subject to the conditions laid down in Article 254 of the Union Customs Code, which shall be applicable mutatis mutandis, where:
- (a) the essential bicycle parts are delivered to a party exempted pursuant to Articles 7 or 12; or
- (b) the essential bicycle parts are delivered to another holder of an authorisation for the end-use procedure within the meaning of Article 254 of the Union Customs Code; or
- (c) on a monthly basis, less than 300 units per type of essential bicycle parts are, on average, either declared for free circulation by a party or are delivered to it. The time limit to calculate that average will not exceed 12 months, whereby the first period starts from the date of entry into force of the concerned end-use authorisation, and will in no case exceed its period of validity. The number of parts declared by or delivered to any party shall be calculated by reference to the number of parts declared by or delivered to all parties which are associated with or have compensatory arrangements with that party; or
- (d) the essential bicycle parts are used in the assembly of cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor (TARIC additional code 8835) or of vehicles other than cycles, whether or not fitted with an auxiliary motor (TARIC additional code C549).
Article 15
Special provision for parties receiving de minimis deliveries
The Commission or the competent authorities of the Member States may decide, on their own initiative, to examine parties which declare essential bicycle parts for free circulation or receive deliveries pursuant to Article 14 (c).
Where the parties referred to in paragraph 1 are found to have declared for free circulation or received deliveries of quantities of essential bicycle parts above the threshold set out in Article 14(c), or where they fail to cooperate with the examination, they shall no longer be presumed to fall outside the scope of Article 13(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036, and any exemption authorisation granted to such parties shall be revoked retrospectively. After the party concerned has been given an opportunity to comment, those findings shall be notified to the competent authorities of the Member States.
Where the parties referred to in paragraph 1 abused Article 14 (c) in order to circumvent the extended duty, the extended duty not levied on any essential bicycle parts declared for free circulation by those parties or delivered to them after the entry into force of this Regulation shall be reclaimed.
Article 16
Exchange of information
The particulars of parties in respect of which an examination has been initiated pursuant to Article 4 or in respect of which a decision has been taken pursuant to Articles 7 or 10 shall be communicated to the competent authorities of the Member States.
A notice will be published, from time to time as appropriate, containing updated lists of parties under examination and exempted parties, which will also be communicated forthwith to any interested party upon demand.
Article 17
Provisions on customs duties
Unless otherwise specified, the provisions concerning customs duties shall apply.
Article 18
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
