from so much of additional duty leviable thereon under sub-section (1) of
section (3) of the said Customs Tariff Act,
(c)
from the much of special additional duty leviable thereon under
sub-section (1) of section 3A of the said Customs Tariff Act,
as

(i)
the toll smelting or toll processing costs, as the case may be, that is
to say,-
(a)
labour charges,
(b)
cost of material (other than the cost of the goods exported out of India) used

sufficient evidence is shown that the gold or silver, as the case may be,
which are imported have in fact been obtained out of toll smelting or toll
processing of the copper reverts exported out of India.
