The order remains in force until revoked or replaced.\n\n**Key details:**\n- **Effective date:** 19 June 2006\n- **Issued by:** Wendy Knowles, acting on behalf of the Australian Border Force (then Customs) CEO\n- **Legal basis:** Customs Act 1901, section 269P"},"summary":{"content_quality":"ok","complexity_score":1,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"This order makes no changes to the law; it only declares that the described goods are eligible for an existing concession item in Schedule 4."},"complexity_factors":["Narrow product scope (single consumable type)","Relies on a specific tariff classification","Requires familiarity with the tariff concession framework"],"plain_english_summary":"This Tariff Concession Order grants a duty concession for thermal ink transfer rolls for facsimile machines (tariff subheading 9612.10.00), letting importers claim a concessional (typically free) rate of duty where no Australian-made substitute exists.
