Mechanically, it narrows the concession to goods meeting the stated electrical ratings, shifting import cost consequences onto importers (who pay less if eligible) and creating an administrative compliance requirement to demonstrate eligibility. The legal effect depends on the referenced Schedule 4 item and on potential future revocation under the Customs Act."},"complexity_factors":["Narrow technical product specification (voltage >1,000 V and ≤1,200 V; current ≤125 A) reduces interpretive ambiguity but requires technical matching to tariff classification.","Relies on cross-reference to Part III of Schedule 4 (Item 50) for the actual tariff concession, so legal effect depends on that external provision.","Temporal effect and continuation dependent on revocation under Customs Act sections 269SC or 269SD or any date in Column 2, introducing administrative termination mechanics.","Uses a single tariff classification code (8535.21.00) which requires correct customs coding by importers and Customs officers.","Short, formal instrument with limited scope and few operative provisions limits internal complexity but increases reliance on administrative interpretation for borderline goods."],"plain_english_summary":"This Order makes certain DC circuit breakers (rated voltage over 1,000 V up to 1,200 V and rated current no greater than 125 A) subject to Item 50 in Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995, effective 14 October 2011 until revoked.
