Division 5—Amount of claim for drawback
40 Amount of claim for drawback of import duty
(1) For paragraph (b) of items 3 and 4 of the table in section 37, this section sets out how to work out the amount of a claim for drawback of import duty.
(2) The amount of a claim for drawback of import duty paid on the exportation of goods must not exceed the amount of import duty:
(a) paid on the goods; or
(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
(b) an amount of quantitative duty does not apply to the goods;
the amount of the claim may be worked out using the formula:
where:
price paid 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.
(5) If:
(a) the amount of import duty paid on the goods is not known by the person making the claim; and
(b) an amount of quantitative duty applies to the goods;
the amount of the claim may be worked out using the formula:
where:
duty means the quantitative duty for the goods.
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.
(6) In this section:
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.
(1) This section applies if the relevant imported goods in section 35 were mixed with similar goods produced in Australia before the mixture, or part of the mixture, of goods was:
(a) used in the manufacture of other goods; or
(b) subjected to a process or treatment for the purpose of producing other goods.
(2) Subject to this Part, the amount of drawback that may be paid on the exportation of the other goods is an amount considered by a Collector to be fair and reasonable, having regard to:
(a) the amount of import duty that was paid on the relevant imported goods contained in the mixture of goods; and
(b) the quantity of the mixture of goods that has been lost or wasted, or has been used otherwise than in the manufacture or processing or treatment of other goods; and
(c) if part of the mixture of goods was:
(i) used in the manufacture of other goods that have previously been exported; or
(ii) subjected to a process or treatment for the purpose of producing other goods that have previously been exported;
the amount of drawback of import duty that was paid on the exportation of those previously exported goods.
42 Deduction of rebates from drawback payable
The amount of any drawback of import duty that may be paid on the exportation of goods is reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any rebate of import duty under this Part that has been made.

(b) factors that the Minister must take account of for that purpose.
(2) If:
(a) an exporter or producer of like goods keeps records relating to the like goods; and
(b) the records:
(i) are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the country of export; and
(ii) reasonably reflect competitive market costs associated with the production or manufacture of like goods;
the Minister must work out the amount by using the information set out in the records.
(3) The Minister must take account of the information available to the Minister about the allocation of costs in relation to like goods, in particular to establish:
(a) appropriate amortisation and depreciation periods; and
(b) allowances for capital expenditures and other development costs.
(4) For subsection (3), the information includes information given by the exporter or producer of the goods mentioned in subsection (1) that demonstrates that the exporter or producer of the goods has historically used the method of allocation.
(5) If:
(a) the Minister identifies a non‑recurring item of cost that benefits current production or future production (or both) of the goods mentioned in subsection (1); and
(b) the information mentioned in subsection (3) does not identify the item;
the Minister must adjust the costs identified by the exporter or producer to take that item into account.
(6) Subsection (7) applies if:

(b) factors that the Minister must take account of for that purpose.
(2) If:
(a) an exporter or producer of like goods keeps records relating to the like goods; and
(b) the records:
(i) are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the country of export; and
(ii) reasonably reflect the administrative, general and selling costs associated with the sale of the like goods;
the Minister must work out the amount by using the information set out in the records.
(3) If the Minister is unable to work out the amount by using the information mentioned in subsection (2), the Minister must work out the amount by:
(a) identifying the actual amounts of administrative, selling and general costs incurred by the exporter or producer in the production and sale of the same general category of goods in the domestic market of the country of export; or
(b) identifying the weighted average of the actual amounts of administrative, selling and general costs incurred by other exporters or producers in the production and sale of like goods in the domestic market of the country of export; or
(c) using any other reasonable method and having regard to all relevant information.
(4) The Minister must take account of the information available to the Minister about the allocation of costs, in particular to establish:
(a) appropriate amortisation and depreciation periods; and
(b) allowances for capital expenditures and other development costs.
(5) For subsection (4), the information includes information given by the exporter or producer of goods that demonstrates that the exporter or producer of the goods has historically used the method of allocation.

(a) the Minister identifies a non‑recurring item of cost that benefits current production or future production (or both) of goods; and
(b) the information mentioned in subsection (4) does not identify the item;
the Minister must adjust the costs identified by the exporter or producer to take that item into account.
(7) Subsection (8) applies if:
(a) the Minister identifies a circumstance in which costs, during the investigation period, are affected by start‑up operations; and
(b) the information mentioned in subsection (4) does not identify the circumstance.
(8) The Minister must adjust the costs identified in the information:

(b) factors that the Minister must take account of for that purpose.
(2) The Minister must, if reasonably practicable, work out the amount by using data relating to the production and sale of like goods by the exporter or producer of the goods in the ordinary course of trade.
(3) If the Minister is unable to work out the amount by using the data mentioned in subsection (2), the Minister must work out the amount by:
(a) identifying the actual amounts realised by the exporter or producer from the sale of the same general category of goods in the domestic market of the country of export; or
(b) identifying the weighted average of the actual amounts realised by other exporters or producers from the sale of like goods in the domestic market of the country of export; or
(c) using any other reasonable method and having regard to all relevant information.
(4) However, if:
