EXPLANATORY NOTE.

The effect of the Order is to restore the correct duty position of a number of items, viz., certain kinds of paper, building materials of asbestos cement, and hinges suitable for motor vehicles, on which the incidence of duty was inadvertently altered in the course of the transposition of our Customs Tariff nomenclature to that of the EEC Common Customs Tariff. A number of minor editorial changes are also made in the form of Customs Tariff.

The Order comes into operation on 11 January, 1973.
