1                            For macadamias in shell, the sum of the following components:
                             (a) 16.01 cents multiplied by the number worked out under subclause (2) (the marketing component);
                             (b) 8.57 cents multiplied by the number worked out under subclause (2) (the research and development component);
                             (c) 0.79 cents multiplied by the number worked out under subclause (2) (the biosecurity response component);
                             (d) 0.63 cents multiplied by the number worked out under subclause (2) (the National Residue Survey component)

 (2) For the purposes of subclause (1), the number is worked out by multiplying the quantity (in kilograms) of the macadamias in shell that are exported by the applicable percentage worked out using this method statement.

      Method statement
           Step 1. Work out the weight (in kilograms) of the sample of the macadamias in shell.
           Step 2. After the sample has been dried to a moisture content of 1.5%, work out the weight (in kilograms) of the kernels after being removed from the sample.
           Step 3. Divide the result at step 2 by the result at step 1.
           Step 4. Express the result at step 3 as a percentage: the result is the applicable percentage.
Example: Assume 1,000 kg of macadamias in shell are exported from Australia.
 Assume a sample of 0.6 kg of macadamias in shell was taken.
 After that sample is dried to a moisture content of 1.5%, assume the weight in kilograms of the kernels after being removed from the sample is 0.18 kg.
 The result at step 3 is 0.3 (0.18 kg/0.6 kg).
 The applicable percentage at step 4 is 30% and the number worked out under subclause (2) is 300 (30% of 1,000).
 The sum of the components referred to in subclause (1) is $0.26, so the rate of the charge on the export of the macadamias in shell is $78 ($0.26 multiplied by 300).

 (3) The rate of the charge imposed by subclause 48‑1(2) on macadamias in shell is worked out using this table.
