It is not always possible to exporter, particularly if he is not the manufacturer, to know the precise quantities of agricultural products used on which he can claim a refund. Therefore, the exporter is not always able to declare such quantities. It is therefore necessary to provide an alternative method of calculation of the refund which the person concerned may ask to be applied, restricted to certain goods, based on the chemical analysis of these goods, and using a conversion table drawn up for this purpose.
