295: Certain other Acts not affected

You could also call this:

“This law doesn't change rules about special goods like dangerous items”

This part of the law says that it doesn’t change or limit other laws about specific types of goods. For example, it doesn’t affect laws about dangerous substances, radiation safety, or any other laws about special kinds of goods.

If there’s a conflict between this part of the law and the other laws mentioned, the other laws will be the ones that apply. This means that if this law says one thing, but a law about dangerous substances says something different, you should follow what the dangerous substances law says.
