176Furthermore, as the Commission argues, the value of sales reflects the price as charged to the customer, without deductions for transportation costs or other charges. Regard should be had to the case-law according to which, in respect of transportation costs, where a producer delivers, at the request of the customer, the quantities sold, the transportation service forms an integral part of the sale of the product. The price charged for such a service, even where it represents the reimbursement of the sums owed by the seller to the independent carrier to which it had recourse for that service, is therefore a component of the overall sales price (see, to this effect, Joined Cases T-25/95, T-26/95, T-30/95 to T-32/95, T-34/95 to T-39/95, T-42/95 to T-46/95, T-48/95, T-50/95 to T-65/95, T-68/95 to T-71/95, T-87/95, T-88/95, T-103/95 and T-104/95Cimenteries CBR and Others v Commission [2000] ECR II-491, paragraph 5030).
