It formally declares that imports of canned tuna and similar preserved fish (tariff code 1604.14.00) exceeded the 2005 safety threshold set by Parliament.\n\n**Who it affects:** Importers of these specific fish products, and Australian seafood canneries competing against them.\n\n**Why it matters:** Australia uses \"safeguard\" rules to protect local industries from sudden floods of cheap imports. This notice tells the Customs service and trading partners: \"The import limit has been breached—temporary extra duties or quotas can now be applied to level the playing field for domestic producers.\"\n\nThis is a short, technical instrument that performs a single job: flipping the switch on trade protections."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-tariff-safeguard-goods-notice-no-1-2005","history":"/api/acts/customs-tariff-safeguard-goods-notice-no-1-2005/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-tariff-safeguard-goods-notice-no-1-2005/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-tariff-safeguard-goods-notice-no-1-2005/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-tariff-safeguard-goods-notice-no-1-2005/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-tariff-safeguard-goods-notice-no-1-2005/documents"}}
