(a) the altered goods; or

were exported by the person making the declaration and were not used (other than in a manner covered by paragraphs (1)(a) and (b)) in the period commencing at the end of the alteration and ending at the start of the export of the goods. The declaration must be in writing in a form approved by the Commissioner and must be signed by the person making the declaration.
