For the purposes of this Chapter:
‘lot’ means the goods presented under a declaration of release for free circulation, covering only goods of the same origin falling within one single CN code; and
‘importer’ means the declarant within the meaning of Article 5(15) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council(1).
1.For each product and for the periods set out in Part A of Annex VII, for each market day and origin, Member States shall notify the Commission, by 12.00 noon (Brussels time) the following working day, of:
(a)the average representative prices of the products imported from third countries sold on Member States' import markets; and
(b)the total quantities relating to the prices referred to in point (a).
For the purposes of point (a) of the first subparagraph, Member States shall notify the Commission of the import markets they consider representative and which shall include London, Milan, Perpignan and Rungis.
Where the total quantities referred to in point (b) of the first subparagraph are less than 10 tonnes, the corresponding prices shall not be notified to the Commission.
2.The prices referred to in point (a) of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 shall be recorded:
(a)for each of the products listed in Part A of Annex VII;
(b)for all of the available varieties and sizes; and
(c)at the importer/wholesaler stage or the wholesaler/retailer stage where no prices at the importer/wholesaler stage are available.
They shall be reduced by the following amounts:
(a)a marketing margin of 15 % for the marketing centres of London, Milan and Rungis and of 8 % for other marketing centres; and
(b)costs of transport and insurance within the customs territory of the Union.
For the costs of transport and insurance to be deducted pursuant to the second subparagraph, Member States may fix standard amounts for deduction. Such standard amounts and the methods for calculating them shall be notified to the Commission immediately.
3.The prices recorded in accordance with paragraph 2 shall, where they are established at the wholesale/retail stage, be reduced by:
(a)an amount equal to 9 % to take in respect of the wholesaler's trade margin, and
(b)an amount equal to EUR 0,7245 per 100 kilograms in respect of the costs of handling and market taxes and charges.
4.For products listed in Part A of Annex VII covered by a specific marketing standard, the following prices shall be deemed to be representative:
(a)prices of Class I products where the quantities in that class account for at least 50 % of the total quantities marketed;
(b)prices of Class I and Class II products where the quantities in those classes account for at least 50 % of the total quantities marketed;
(c)prices of Class II products, where Class I products are not available, unless it is decided to apply an adjustment coefficient to them if, as a result of their quality characteristics, those products are not normally marketed in Class I.
The adjustment coefficient referred to in point (c) of the first subparagraph shall be applied after deduction of the amounts referred to in paragraph 2.
For products listed in Part A of Annex VII that are not covered by a specific marketing standard, prices of products complying with the general marketing standard shall be deemed to be representative.
1.For the purposes of Article 181(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the products of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors referred to in that Article shall be those listed in Annex VII to this Regulation.
2.When the customs value of the products listed in Part A of Annex VII is determined in accordance with the transaction value referred to in Article 70 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 and that customs value is higher by more than 8 % than the flat-rate calculated by the Commission as a standard import value at the time the declaration of release of the products for free circulation is made, the importer must provide a guarantee as referred to in Article 148 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447(2). For this purpose, the amount of import duty for which the products listed in Part A of Annex VII to this Regulation may be liable, shall be the amount of the duty due if the product in question had been classified on the basis of the standard import value concerned.
The first subparagraph shall not apply when the standard import value is higher than the entry prices listed in Annex 2 of Section I of Part Three of Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87(3), or where the declarant requests the immediate entry in the accounts of the amount of duties to which the goods may ultimately be liable instead of providing a guarantee.
3.When the customs value of the products listed in Part A of Annex VII is calculated in accordance with Article 74(2)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013, the duty shall be deducted as provided for in Article 38(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892. In that case, the importer shall provide a guarantee equal to the amount of duty which he would have paid if the classification of the products had been made on the basis of the standard import value applicable.
4.The customs value of the goods imported on consignment shall be directly determined in accordance with Article 74(2)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013, and for this purpose, the standard import value calculated in accordance with Article 38 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892 shall apply during the periods in force.
5.The importer shall have one month from the sale of the products in question, subject to a limit of four months from the date of acceptance of the declaration of release for free circulation, to prove that the lot was disposed of under the conditions confirming the correctness of the prices referred to in Article 70 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013, or to determine the customs value referred to in Article 74(2)(c) of that Regulation.
Failure to meet one of these deadlines shall entail the loss of the guarantee provided, without prejudice to the application of paragraph 6.
The guarantee provided shall be released to the extent that proof of the conditions of disposal is provided to the satisfaction of the customs authorities. Otherwise the guarantee shall be forfeit by way of payment of the import duties.
In order to prove that the lot was disposed of under the conditions set out in the first subparagraph, the importer shall make available, in addition to the invoice, all documents needed for the carrying out of the relevant customs controls in relation to the sale and disposal of each product of the lot in question, including documents relating to the transport, insurance, handling and storage of the lot.
Where the marketing standards referred to in Article 3 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 require the product variety or the type of the fruit and vegetables to be indicated on the packaging, the product variety or the type of the fruit and vegetables that form part of the lot shall be indicated on documents related to transport, invoices and the delivery order.
6.The time limit of four months referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 5 may be extended by the competent authorities of the Member State by a maximum of three months at the request of the importer, which must be duly justified.
If on verification, the competent authorities of the Member States establish that the requirements of this Article have not been met, they shall recover the duty due in accordance with Article 105 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013. The amount of the duty to be recovered or remaining to be recovered shall include interest from the date the goods were released for free circulation up to the date of recovery. The interest rate applied shall be that in force for recovery operations under national law.
