The order records the customs classification number 8422.30.90 and an internal Schedule 4 item number (50).\n- The legal power used is section 269P of the Customs Act 1901; the order was made by a delegate of the Chief Executive Officer (Susan Campbell) and takes effect from 24 August 2005. The order remains in force until revoked under sections 269SC or 269SD of the Customs Act or until any date specified in the table.\n\n**Who this affects**\n\n- Importers who bring into Australia goods that match the precise description in Column 1. If an importer can show the imported goods meet that description, the importer may obtain the tariff treatment provided by the referenced Schedule 4 item (item 50).\n- Australian government revenue: applying a Schedule 4 item typically alters (usually reduces) the customs duty payable on the specified goods, so revenue collected on those particular imports will change while the order is in force.\n- Domestic manufacturers and suppliers of equivalent equipment: they may face changed competitive conditions if the concession lowers the landed cost of imported units.\n\n**Why it matters (stated purpose and practical effects)**\n\n- Stated effect: the order gives the specified goods the tariff treatment set out in Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 (as identified by item number 50). In practice that means the goods are eligible for the concession rate or exemption keyed to that Schedule 4 item.\n\n- Testing that claim against costs and incentives:\n  - Who pays: importers pay less customs duty on qualifying goods (government collects less duty on those imports while the concession applies). Consumers or downstream buyers may pay lower prices if savings are passed on; competing local suppliers may receive less demand.\n  - Who decides: the executive (a delegate of the CEO of the relevant agency) applies the concession under s.269P; the concession can later be revoked or varied under ss.269SC/269SD. Administrative discretion therefore determines entry and exit of the concession.\n  - Compliance and verification: importers must ensure their goods exactly match the description (the order requires the goods to \"comprise ALL of the following\" components). Customs will verify descriptions and tariff classification at import, so errors or disputes about whether goods match the description can lead to denial of the concession, reassessment of duties, or administrative review.\n  - Implementation risk and burden: the operational burden falls on importers and customs officials to classify and document conformity to the listed components. There is a risk of disputes where imported goods omit or differ slightly from the listed components.\n  - Market effects and tradeoffs: the concession reduces the marginal cost of importing these particular inserters, encouraging importation of the specified models. That creates concentrated benefit to importers of these goods and dispersed, indirect cost to government revenue and potentially to domestic producers. The order is narrowly targeted (specific product description and tariff heading), which limits spillovers to unrelated goods but increases reliance on precise technical wording.\n\n**Key legal references**\n\n- Power used: Customs Act 1901, section 269P (delegate declaration mechanism).\n- Revocation/variation: sections 269SC and 269SD of the Customs Act.\n- Concession applied: Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 (item number recorded as 50).\n\n**Practical points for affected parties**\n\n- Importers: to rely on the concession, ensure import documentation shows the goods exactly meet the listed composition and classification (8422.30.90) and retain supporting technical documentation in case of audit.\n- Customs/administration: must verify conformity; may revoke or vary the concession under the cited sections.\n- Competing domestic suppliers: monitor whether the concession affects pricing and demand for domestic alternatives and consider certification or product differentiation if relevant."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0511231","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0511231/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0511231/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0511231/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0511231/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0511231/documents"}}
