It does not amend Schedule 4 or state a differing prior scope; it takes effect from 27.01.09 and remains in force until revoked under ss.269SC/269SD, so the instrument establishes rather than modifies an earlier textual scope in this document."},"complexity_factors":["Legal references and mechanics: order made under s.269P of the Customs Act 1901 and subject to revocation under ss.269SC or 269SD (header).","Technical specificity: qualification requires the production line to be \"programmable logic controlled\" and to \"comprise ALL of the following\" extensive list of components (a)–(ae).","Tariff mapping: specific tariff classification 8486.40.90 is cited, and Column 2 links the goods to an item in Part III of Schedule 4 (displayed as \"50\").","Operational dates: effective date stated (27.01.09) and no separate 'last date' specified in the table (continues until revocation).","Decision authority: instrument signed by a delegate of the CEO (Damien Beaumont), indicating delegated administrative action rather than primary legislation."],"plain_english_summary":"This Order declares that a specified \"photovoltaic modules production line\" (programmable-logic controlled and comprising all listed components) is a good to which the item in Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 (Column 2: 50) applies.
