These are non-petroleum based hydraulic fluids used in vehicle braking systems.\n\n**Requirements**\nTo qualify, the brake fluids must:\n*   Be classified under tariff heading **3819.00.00** (Schedule 3); and\n*   Meet **Australian Standard AS 1960.1-2005** (the safety standard for non-petroleum motor vehicle brake fluids).\n\n**Who it affects**\nImporters of automotive brake fluids. The by-law acts as a gateway—only products meeting the Australian safety standard can access the tariff treatment under Item 53 of Schedule 4.\n\n**Why it matters**\nSchedule 4 Item 53 typically provides specific duty rates or concessions. This by-law ensures imported brake fluids meet Australian safety specifications before they can benefit from this tariff treatment."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1301133","history":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1301133/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1301133/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1301133/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1301133/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1301133/documents"}}
