Customs By-Law No. 9740019 (Cth)

CUSTOMS ACT 1901

CUSTOMS TARIFF ACT 1995

PART II OF SCHEDULE 4

 BY-LAW NO. 9740019

I, LESLIE GEORGE JONES, delegate of the Chief Executive Officer for    

the purposes of section 271 of the Customs Act 1901, hereby make the

by-law set out in the Schedule hereto.  

Unless the context otherwise requires, where a description of goods    

is specified in a by-law set out in the Schedule hereto, the goods to 

which that by-law applies by virtue of that description are such goods

to which that description would apply if it were specified in the      

tariff classification in Schedule 3 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995

that applies to those goods.

Unless the context otherwise requires, any word or phrase used in a    

reference in a by-law set out in the Schedule hereto has the same      

meaning as if it were used in the tariff classification in Schedule 3  

to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 that applies to those goods to which

that reference in that by-law applies.  

I am of the opinion that the goods specified in Customs By-law         

No. 9740019 are of insubstantial value and that the duties that would  

otherwise be payable but for that by-law are insubstantial.
