   “(2) The maximum prices fixed by the last preceding sub-clause are fixed with respect to sugar sold in lots of a half-ton or more, and to sugar, irrespective of its weight, sold together with golden syrup or treacle where the total weight of the consignment of sugar and golden syrup or treacle is a half-ton or more.
   “(3) (a) Where the sugar is for delivery within the Sugar Free Delivery Area the maximum prices fixed by this clause are fixed free of all transport charges.
   “(b) Where the sugar is for delivery otherwise than within the Sugar Free Delivery Area the maximum prices fixed by this clause are fixed on the basis of f.o.r. or f.o.b. Auckland, as the case may require, and may be increased by the appropriate proportion of such of the following charges as have been actually incurred by the distributor in respect of the sugar concerned:
   “(i) Sea-freight charges:

   “(vi) Cartage charges:
   “Provided that no such charge shall exceed the charge that would have been incurred had the sugar been transported by the most economical route normally available and with respect to cartage charges being not more in any case than the charges that would have been incurred had cartage been effected by a common carrier at current rates.
   “(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of subclause (2) hereof where, with respect to any lot of sugar or any lot of sugar delivered together with golden syrup or treacle, the inclusive weight of the lot is less than a half-ton, the maximum price of the sugar in the lot shall be calculated in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause, and may be increased by the amount customarily imposed with respect to such sales in accordance with trade practice in operation on the 14th April, 1947.

“DUTY IMPOSED ON DISTRIBUTORS
