(b) for manufactured goods—paid on the relevant imported goods used in the manufacture of the manufactured goods; or
(c) for processed or treated goods—paid on the relevant imported goods subjected to a process or treatment for the purpose of producing the processed or treated goods.
(3) The amount of the claim may be worked out by reference to the amount of import duty paid on identical goods that were imported on a previous occasion by the person making the claim.
(4) If:
(a) the amount of import duty paid on the goods is not known by the person making the claim; and

> rate of import duty means the ad valorem rate of import duty for the goods.
(5) If:

> price means the price paid for the goods by the person who was the owner of the goods when the goods were exported.
> rate of import duty means the ad valorem rate of import duty for the goods.

> quantitative duty, for goods, means the import duty worked out in accordance with the Customs Tariff by reference to:
(a) the actual quantities of the goods; or
(b) the actual quantities of a component of the goods.
