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.
