I have one final question on exports and imports into the country. The witnesses may be able to help me on a question about exports and tariffs. Am I correct in saying that if something leaves this country and is not complete it gets a different tariff?

If, for example, it is machinery and is incomplete, is it a different tariff? If something comes into this country that is not fully assembled and is assembled here such as a car, a tractor or a digger, is the tariff different compared with something that is complete?
