The text provides no indication it alters the statutory scope of the Customs Tariff Act beyond declaring which goods the schedule item covers (see s.269P reference and the Table). Therefore, it operationalises tariff treatment rather than changing legislative scope."},"complexity_factors":["Cross-references to primary legislation: made under s.269P of the Customs Act 1901 (instrument-making power) and revocable under ss.269SC/269SD (text: 'Under Section 269P... revoked under sections 269SC or 269SD').","Dependence on Customs Tariff Act 1995: the order operates by applying Part III, Schedule 4, item 50 to the listed goods (text: 'goods ... to which the item in Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 specified in Column 2 ... applies').","Technical goods classification: relies on HS classification 8422.30.90 and a precise, conjunctive product description ('comprising ALL of the following:(a) metal detectors;(b) controllers;(c) weighers;(d) sealers'), which constrains eligibility and creates potential borderline classification questions.","Temporal and administrative clarity: an explicit commencement date (Op. 18.09.06) with indefinite duration 'until revoked', so ongoing effect depends on administrative revocation decisions (text: 'shall have effect from 18.09.06 and continue in force until revoked').","Delegated discretion and administrative actor: made by a delegate of the Chief Executive Officer (Michael Perry) which concentrates decision authority in agency officers rather than parliament (signature block dated 08 December 2006)."],"plain_english_summary":"This Tariff Concession Order declares that imported 'LINES, WEIGHING AND PACKAGING' (HS 8422.30.90) — comprising metal detectors, controllers, weighers and sealers — are goods to which Part III, item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 applies. Effective 18 Sep 2006 until revoked, it changes the customs tariff treatment of those machines.
