Any substantive change to tariff rates or exemptions requires consulting Schedule 4 item 50 itself; the Order merely attaches that item to the listed goods."},"complexity_factors":["Single product description and single tariff classification (5603.12.00) reduces scope complexity","Relies on cross-reference to Schedule 4 (item 50) in the Customs Tariff Act 1995, requiring look-up to know substantive effect","Delegated administrative action under s.269P of the Customs Act 1901 introduces standard legal formalities","No explicit end date in the Table; continuity depends on revocation under ss.269SC or 269SD, which requires checking those provisions","Technical tariff coding and concise wording mean legal effect hinges on precise classification language"],"plain_english_summary":"This Order declares that a specific polyester non-woven fabric (Tariff classification 5603.12.00) is covered by item 50 in Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995, with effect from 21 July 2006 until revoked. Mechanically, the delegate (Michael Perry) applies that Schedule 4 tariff treatment to the listed goods under s.269P of the Customs Act 1901.
