In substance the instrument narrows or expands coverage only by adding or removing particular listed items, but it does not change the underlying scope of the legal scheme (the CES/ANZCER origin framework)."},"complexity_factors":["Enumerative instrument composed mainly of a long list of discrete product entries (dozens of entries across multiple tariff headings).","Many entries include technical qualifiers (CAS numbers, composition percentages, dimensions, tensile strength, grammage, viscosity, viscosity units, softening point etc.).","Several entries use negative inclusions/exclusions and multi-part conditions (e.g. \"but NOT including ...\"; \"having ALL of the following ...\").","Frequent cross-references to Customs Tariff headings and to Schedule 3 of the Customs Tariff Act, creating dependence on external classification texts.","Delegated administrative determination under s153J — discretion is opaque in the instrument itself (no statement of criteria), which raises interpretive complexity.","Revocation clause that cancels all prior determinations creates an operational transitional issue for parties tracking earlier lists."],"plain_english_summary":"**What this instrument does (mechanically)**\n\n- This is an administrative determination made under section 153J(1)(c) of the Customs Act 1901. It lists specific goods and technical descriptions and declares them to be \"manufactured raw materials of New Zealand\" for the purposes of the Australia–New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Trade Agreement (CER/ANZCERTA).\n- The list identifies each material by description and by a Customs Tariff classification (where shown). The instrument also expressly revokes earlier determinations that had treated other materials as New Zealand manufactured raw materials.\n\n**Who is affected**\n\n- Importers and customs brokers who bring the listed goods into Australia and may wish to claim preferential treatment under CER.\n- Manufacturers and assemblers in Australia or New Zealand that use the listed items as inputs (because the items are treated as New Zealand-origin inputs for the relevant trade rules).\n- New Zealand exporters of the listed products (they gain clarity that these items are treated as New Zealand manufactured raw materials under CER).\n- The Australian Customs administration (which applies the list when deciding origin/preferences and enforces classification).\n\n**Why it matters (practical effect)**\n\n- Determining a material to be a New Zealand manufactured raw material changes how the material is treated under the ANZCER rules of origin and preferential tariff arrangements. Practically, that can allow importers or downstream producers to claim preferential tariff treatment or to count the material as a NZ-origin input when assessing origin tests.\n- For affected businesses this can lower import duties or change whether a final product qualifies for preferential treatment, influencing sourcing, pricing and supply-chain decisions.\n- Because the list is highly specific (tariff headings, CAS numbers, dimensional and compositional limits, and explicit inclusions/exclusions), businesses must check detailed specifications to see whether a particular consignment fits the listed description.\n\n**Stated purpose and an assessment of trade-offs, costs and incentives**\n\n- The stated purpose (implicit in using s153J) is to implement the CER origin rules by specifying which manufactured raw materials are to be treated as New Zealand-origin for trade preference purposes. This is an administrative instrument to operationalise the origin regime.\n\n- Costs and compliance burden: the instrument imposes an evidentiary and classification burden on importers and brokers. They must establish that goods match the specific descriptions and tariff codes in the list. That can add paperwork, require technical data (e.g. CAS numbers, measurements, grammage, tensile strength), and increase the chance of classification disputes with Customs.\n\n- Incentives and behaviour changes: by listing narrowly defined items, the instrument creates an incentive for Australian importers and manufacturers to source those specific inputs from New Zealand to obtain or preserve preferential treatment for downstream goods. That produces concentrated benefits to sellers of the listed items in New Zealand and to importers who use them; any foregone tariff revenue is borne by the Australian budget (diffuse public cost).\n\n- Implementation risk and dispute potential: the specificity of many entries (including negative exclusions and multi-condition items) increases the likelihood of disagreement over whether a particular shipment qualifies. That creates a potential need for binding rulings, administrative review or appeals under the Customs Act and increases operational load on Customs.\n\n- Neutrality and scope of decision-making: the determination is made by a delegate of the CEO under existing statutory authority (s153J). It does not change the underlying statutory power; it uses that delegated discretion to list particular products.\n\n**What to watch for in practice**\n\n- Whether Customs treats particular consignments as matching the listed technical descriptions in practice (classification disputes).\n- Administrative costs for affected importers (testing, documentation, rulings) and any change in sourcing decisions by manufacturers.\n- The possibility that highly specific listings confer concentrated competitive advantages to particular suppliers, which may attract requests for future additions or removals of items.\n\n(Primary legal basis cited: Customs Act 1901, s153J(1)(c). The instrument also expressly revokes previous determinations.)"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/australia-new-zealand-closer-economic-relations-trade-agreement-determined-manufactured-raw-material","history":"/api/acts/australia-new-zealand-closer-economic-relations-trade-agreement-determined-manufactured-raw-material/history","analysis":"/api/acts/australia-new-zealand-closer-economic-relations-trade-agreement-determined-manufactured-raw-material/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/australia-new-zealand-closer-economic-relations-trade-agreement-determined-manufactured-raw-material/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/australia-new-zealand-closer-economic-relations-trade-agreement-determined-manufactured-raw-material/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/australia-new-zealand-closer-economic-relations-trade-agreement-determined-manufactured-raw-material/documents"}}
