EXPLANATORY NOTE.

This Order provides for the correction of certain anomalies in rates of Customs duty arising from Ireland's adoption of the EEC Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature, removes the duty on newsprint and on motor-vehicle fanbelts of Northern Ireland origin and makes certain consequential changes in rates of duty for the general scheme of tariff preferences applied to developing countries. A number of minor editorial changes are also made in the form of Customs Tariff.
