This by-law may be cited as Customs By-law No. 1301120.\n\n2. This by-law shall take effect on and from 1 March 2013.\n\n3. For the purposes of item 45 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995, goods being original components of a completed machine or equipment to which a single tariff classification applies, are prescribed.\n\n4. The application of item 45 is subject to the following conditions:\n\n(a) the goods were despatched to Australia as a single consignment but due to accidental circumstances were separated for shipment;\n\n(b) the goods are of such a size, shape or weight that transport necessities demand separate shipment; or\n\n(c) the nature of the goods is such that transport necessities demand separate modes of shipment for some components.\n\n5. Paragraph 3 does not apply to the following goods:\n\n(a) replacement parts, components or spares used in modernising or refurbishing existing machinery or equipment;\n\n(b) initial spare parts, maintenance tools and the like that may be supplied as part of an original shipment.\n\n  \n\n6.
