           (2) For the purposes of the refund only the starch coming from cereal products is taken into account
               Cereal products means the products falling within subheadings 0709 90 60 and 0712 90 19, Chapter 10, and headings
               Nos 1101 , 1102, 1103 and 1104 (excluding subheading 1104 30) and the cereals content of the products falling within
               subheadings 1904 10 10 and 1904 10 90 of the combined nomenclature. The cereals content in products under
               subheadings 1904 10 10 and 1904 10 90 of the combined nomenclature is considered to be equal to the weight of this
               final product.
               No refund is paid for cereals where the origin of the starch cannot be clearly established by analysis.
