17 In circumstances described in sections 12 and 13, remission is made, up to the maximum of the exporter’s share of the established base, in the following sequence:

• (a) to exporters who have exported softwood lumber products with benefit of an export level,

  • (i) in respect of paid upper fee base fees, and
