Det skal endvidere bemærkes, at importen af alle sømløse rør (herunder således også den pågældende vare) med oprindelse i Tjekkiet og Slovakiet mellem 1993 og 1995 var omfattet af en ordning med toldkontingenter, dvs. toldfrihed inden for kvantitative lofter; når loftet var nået, blev der opkrævet en told på 30 %.
Further, it should be noted that imports of all seamless pipes and tubes (including therefore the product concerned), originating in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic were, between 1993 and 1995, subject to a tariff quota system, i.e. duty free within the limits of a quantitative ceiling; as soon as the ceiling was reached, a duty of 30 % was levied.
