PART II OF SCHEDULE 4

BY-LAWS NOS. 9640082 TO 9640084, 9640087 TO 9640088,

9640098 AND 9640100 TO 9640102

I, RICHARD JOHN JANECZKO, delegate of the Chief Executive Officer for the purposes of section 271 of the Customs Act 1901, hereby make the by-laws 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.

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-laws Nos. 9640082 to 9640084 and 9640088 are of insubstantial value.

I am of the opinion that the goods specified in Customs By-laws Nos. 9640087, 9640098 and 9640100 to 9640101 are of insubstantial value and that the duties that would otherwise be payable but for those by-laws are insubstantial.
