The instrument replaces TCO 9703293 (TABLE A) with TCO 0614268 (TABLE B).

These changes alter which Schedule 4 concession applies (see TABLE B Column 2 and the reference to Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995) and therefore change the scope of concession treatment importers receive; importers must apply the new Order and effective date (01.01.07) to determine duty outcomes."},"complexity_factors":["Statutory authority and discretion: revocation is made under Section 269SD(2) of the Customs Act 1901 (instrument records delegate action).","Cross‑statute linkage: the replacement ties goods to an item in Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 (TABLE B Column 2), which determines concession treatment.","Tariff coding change: the customs classification shifts from 8421.91.90 (TABLE A) to 8421.91.00 (TABLE B), which can change duty outcomes and binding treatment.","Schedule number change: Schedule 4 item moves from 5031.12.06 (TABLE A) to item 50 (TABLE B), altering concession eligibility and rate application.","Technical product specificity: detailed rotor specifications (speeds, capacities, tube types) require matching importer descriptions to the correct instrument to claim the concession.","Operational/compliance burden: importers and brokers must update documentation and tariff entries to reflect the new Order (see TABLE B), affecting entry processing and potential duties payable.","Timing and transition: the revocation has retrospective effect from 01.01.07 (as stated), creating a fixed effective date importers must observe.","Administrative traceability: instrument references the original TCO (9703293) and the new TCO (0614268), so customs rulings, audits and retrospective claims may hinge on accurate identification of which Order applied (TABLE A vs TABLE B)."],"plain_english_summary":"This instrument revokes Tariff Concession Order No. 9703293 (effective 01.01.2007) and replaces it with Tariff Concession Order No. 0614268 for specified centrifuge rotors.
