In practice that means the specified goods receive whatever tariff treatment (usually a reduced rate or exemption) attaches to that Schedule 4 item.\n- The Order records the tariff classification number used for those goods: 8479.89.90.  It took effect on 29 November 2004 and remains in force until revoked under sections 269SC or 269SD of the Customs Act 1901, or until any termination date recorded against the item.\n- The instrument is made under section 269P of the Customs Act 1901 by a delegate of the Chief Executive Officer of the relevant agency; the delegate’s signature and date are recorded.\n\n**Who it affects**\n\n- Importers of \"marine cable tensioners\": importers who bring those goods into Australia and claim the concession when lodging import declarations.\n- Customs and border agencies: they must apply the Schedule 4 item when assessing duty on qualifying imports and may check documentation to confirm the goods match the Order’s description and classification.\n- Commonwealth revenue: the government foregoes whatever customs duty would otherwise apply to those imports as a result of the concession.\n\n**Why it matters (practical effects and mechanics)**\n\n- For affected importers: lower upfront customs duty or a specific reduced tariff rate on the listed goods, reducing landed cost for those inputs or finished products that use them.\n- For government: a quantifiable loss of customs revenue on imports of the listed goods while the concession stays in force.\n- For marketplace decisions: the concession can change relative prices and may affect import volumes, sourcing choices (import versus local purchase), and downstream production costs for businesses using the goods.\n\n**Stated purpose and trade-offs (and how those translate into costs and incentives)**n\n- The Order’s stated legal purpose (via the instrument text) is simply to apply the Schedule 4 tariff item to the named goods under s.269P of the Customs Act.  That is usually done to reduce the tariff burden on particular inputs or finished goods.\n- Who pays / who benefits: the benefit is concentrated on importers of the listed marine cable tensioners (and their downstream customers). The cost (foregone tariff revenue) is borne by the Commonwealth. There is a direct revenue trade-off: lower import duty versus the public revenue that would otherwise be collected.\n- Behavioural incentives: by lowering the tariff cost for these items, the Order gives importers an incentive to import the specified cable tensioners rather than source substitutes locally or use different products. That can increase import volumes for those goods.\n\n**Implementation, compliance and risk issues**\n\n- Administrative mechanics: to use the concession an importer must classify the goods as 8479.89.90 and demonstrate the goods match the Order’s description. Customs will rely on description, tariff classification and supporting documents (invoices, specs, bills of lading) to accept the concession.\n- Compliance risk: mis-description or misclassification can trigger audits, denial of the concession, claims for back duty, or penalties under the Customs Act.\n- Revocation risk: the concession lasts until revoked under s.269SC or s.269SD; importers face uncertainty if the concession is later withdrawn.\n\n**Relevant statutory references in the instrument**\n\n- Made under s.269P of the Customs Act 1901 (delegate declaration power).\n- Subject to revocation under ss.269SC or 269SD of the Customs Act 1901.\n- Operative effect is to apply an item in Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 to the goods listed.\n\n(Instrument details: Tariff classification 8479.89.90; description \"CABLE TENSIONERS, marine\"; Prescribed Item No. shown as 50; operative from 29 November 2004; signed by a delegate of the CEO.)"},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"A positive credit balance is required for all requests, including BYOK, so fallback providers remain available.
