In practical terms, that means the import entry for those goods is treated under the concession shown at Schedule 4, item 50 (which alters the rate or application of customs duty).\n- The declaration takes effect from 15 August 2005 and remains in force until the concession is revoked under the Customs Act 1901 (by sections 269SC or 269SD) or until any end date specified in Column 2 (none other than the item number is given here).\n- The Order is made by a delegate of the Commissioner/Chief Executive Officer under section 269P of the Customs Act 1901.\n\nWho this affects\n\n- Importers of the specified product: they are the direct beneficiaries because their import entries for these knife sets will attract the concession listed at Schedule 4, item 50 (usually a reduced or nil customs duty depending on that item).\n- Australian government revenue: customs duty receipts are likely lower for these imports while the concession is in force.\n- Competing domestic producers or importers of alternative products: they may face a change in competitive dynamics if the concession materially lowers the landed cost of the specified imports.\n- Customs officers/clearing agents: they must apply the concession and be satisfied the imported goods match the description and tariff classification before granting the preferential treatment.\n\nWhy it matters (practical effects and implementation mechanics)\n\n- Direct economic effect: lowers the customs duty burden on imports that match the precise description and tariff code (8211.10.00), which lowers cost for whoever imports these sets (consumer-facing retailers or wholesalers). The measure creates a concentrated private benefit (importers of these specific knife sets) and a diffuse public cost (lower duty receipts).\n- Compliance and verification: to obtain the concession, import declarations must correctly classify goods as 8211.10.00 and match the description (\"titanium\" knife sets with two wooden blocks). If the description is ambiguous or entry documentation is incomplete, Customs may refuse the concession, creating some operational risk for importers.\n- Administrative discretion and duration: the Order was issued by a delegate under s 269P (customs delegate power) and can be revoked administratively under ss 269SC or 269SD of the Customs Act 1901. That means the concession can be removed without new primary legislation, producing regulatory uncertainty for long-term commercial planning.\n- Market effects to watch for: the concession encourages importation of the specified items and may reduce domestic production or substitution toward these imported titanium sets. The size of that effect depends on demand and scale of imports; the instrument itself contains no usage limits or quotas.\n\nSource claims and their costs/trade-offs\n\n- The instrument’s stated legal effect is to apply Schedule 4, item 50 to the named goods (mechanical claim). Any asserted policy rationale (for example, encouraging availability of a product or supporting particular supply chains) is not set out in the Order itself. Testing that claimed purpose against trade-offs: beneficiaries gain lower costs; the Commonwealth forgoes some duty revenue; domestic competitors may be affected; compliance risk is low but depends on precise product description and tariff classification enforcement.\n\nKey legal references (where to look for more detail)\n\n- Customs Act 1901: s 269P (delegate power to make Tariff Concession Orders), ss 269SC and 269SD (powers to revoke).\n- Customs Tariff Act 1995: Part III, Schedule 4, item 50 (the concession applied by this Order).\n- Tariff heading cited: 8211.10.00 (for classification purposes).\n\nPractical advice for affected parties\n\n- Importers: ensure import documentation matches the description and tariff classification; retain supplier/manufacturer evidence (materials, packaging, invoices) to support an entry if Customs reviews it.\n- Competing businesses and advisors: monitor revocation pathways under ss 269SC/269SD and consider submitting comments to Customs if there is evidence the concession materially harms domestic industry.\n\nOverall takeaway\n\nThis is a narrowly targeted tariff concession order granting Schedule 4, item 50 treatment to a specifically described class of imported kitchen knife sets (titanium, with two wooden blocks) from 15 August 2005 until revoked. It benefits importers of those exact goods and imposes a revenue impact on the Commonwealth; administrative application depends on correct classification and Customs’ verification.\n"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0510723","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0510723/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0510723/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0510723/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0510723/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0510723/documents"}}
