Notwithstanding Article 18, an importer may request reimbursement of duties collected where it is shown that the amount of countervailable subsidies, on the basis of which duties were paid, has been either eliminated or reduced to a level which is below the level of the duty in force.
D'ainneoin Airteagal 18, féadfaidh allmhaireoir aisíocaíocht dleachtanna a bailíodh a iarraidh i gcás ina léirítear go bhfuarthas réidh le méid na bhfóirdheontas in-fhrithchúitithe, a bhí mar bhonn le híoc na ndleachtanna, nó gur laghdaíodh é go leibhéal atá faoi bhun leibhéal na dleachta i bhfeidhm.
