This ensures importers and customs officials classify these items consistently for tariff purposes.\n\n**Why it matters:** Importers of these goods need to know this classification to calculate costs and comply with customs requirements. The \"exclusively for demonstrational purposes\" condition means demonstrational items must be used only for teaching or display—not for general sale or commercial use—to qualify under this provision."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1300557","history":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1300557/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1300557/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1300557/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1300557/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1300557/documents"}}
