- Country of origin: Any third country
- CIF value: £6098.63
- Weight: 15000 kg
- Euro rate: 0.6255 (wef 01/10/2001)
Convert value into Euros per 100 kg using the following formula:

CIF Value ÷ Euro rate ÷ Net weight x 100 = Value in Euro per 100 kgtherefore 6098.63 ÷ 0.6255 ÷ 15000 x 100 = 65 Euros per 100 kg.

Compare to SIV. According to the published Official Journal the SIV rate = 58.8 Euros per 100 kg.

- Not less than €62.6 = 14.4% (CIF)
- Not less than €61.3 but less than €62.6 = 14.4% + €1.1/100kg/net
- Not less than €60.1 but less than €61.3 = 14.4% + €2.1/100kg/net
- Not less than €58.8 but less than €60.1 = 14.4% + €3.2/100kg/net
- Not less than €57.6 but less than €58.8 = 14.4% + €4.2/100kg/net
- Less than €57.6 = 14.4% + 29.8/100kg/net
