(2) If the goods are at the date of their re-importation excise goods, they may on re-importation be delivered for home use without payment of excise duty if it is shown to the satisfaction of the Commissioners—

(c) that the goods have not undergone any process outside the United Kingdom since their exportation.

(3) If the goods both are at the date of their re-importation and were at the date of their exportation excise goods, but they were exported without the excise duty having been paid from a warehouse or from the place where they were manufactured or produced, then, where the following conditions are satisfied, that is to say—

(a) it is shown to the satisfaction of the Commissioners that they have not undergone any process outside the United Kingdom since their exportation; and
