BUT WHERE either A or B yields a value of zero or less then no anti-dumping duty is payable. Note: All amounts expressed in units of currency other than New Zealand dollars shall be converted to New Zealand dollars for the purposes of applying this formula (for example, the raw sugar price is quoted in US dollars per tonne, as are the normal values). The exchange rate applicable for converting any such unit of currency into New Zealand dollars shall be the rate as gazetted by New Zealand Customs in the appropriate Customs Exchange Rate Notice, applying at the date of importation.''
