## Policy Analysis Report: Customs Notification No. 84/2022
**1. Executive Summary:**
This report analyzes Customs Notification No. 84/2022, a notification amending a previous customs notification, No. 36/2001-Customs N.T. The primary purpose of this amendment is to update the tariff values for certain imported goods, including palm oil, soybean oil, brass scrap, gold, silver and areca nuts. The key finding is that the amendment introduces new tariff values (expressed in US Dollars per Metric Tonne or per 10 grams/kilogram) for these goods, potentially impacting import costs and related industries.
**2. Introduction:**

* **Core Objective:** The core objective, as inferred from the text, is to revise the tariff values for specific imported goods. This directly impacts the calculation of customs duties and the overall cost of importing these items.
