it did not export to the Union the product described in Article 1(1) during the investigation period (1 October 2015 to 30 September 2016),
it is not related to any of the exporters or producers in the People's Republic of China which are subject to the measures imposed by this Regulation,
it has actually exported to the Union the product concerned after the investigation period on which the measures are based, or it has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union,
