The text contains no amendment, supersession or narrowing language, so there is no indication within this instrument that the scope was changed from an earlier instrument."},"complexity_factors":["Technical specificity: lengthy, itemised list of component types and assemblies for 'mud motors' creates fine product-level scope that can be fact-specific to apply.","Statutory cross-references: the Order operates by linking goods to an item in Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 and is issued under s.269P of the Customs Act 1901.","Delegated administration: made by a delegate of the CEO (signed by Damien Beaumont) and subject to administrative revocation under ss.269SC/269SD, creating bureaucratic discretion.","Open-ended duration: no fixed expiry date in the table; effect runs from 24.06.08 until revoked, raising ongoing compliance and monitoring obligations for stakeholders.","Tariff-classification dependence: benefit depends on correct classification to 8410.90.00 at import; misclassification risk imposes compliance burden and potential disputes.","Interpretive ambiguity: phrase 'comprising ANY of the following' and inclusion of both parts and assemblies may generate borderline cases about whether particular items fall within the description."],"plain_english_summary":"This Tariff Concession Order treats specific downhole “mud motor” parts (tariff heading 8410.90.00) as covered by item 50 in Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act, effective 24 June 2008 and continuing until revoked.
