This Order, made under section 269P of the Customs Act 1901, declares that blades for log-peeling machines (classification 8208.20.00) are goods to which item 50 in Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 applies, effective 9 June 2010 and continuing until revoked. Signed by a delegate of the CEO (David Mulcair) on 30 August 2010.
