| (i) |
if he considers that such manufacturing does not result or is not likely to result in loss of revenue or is not or is not likely to be detrimental to any industry in the Republic to the extent stated in paragraph (a); or |

if in the manufacture of such excisable goods used parts or material on which any duty had been paid previously was used to such extent as he deems reasonable, |
