Without this order, importers would pay the full customs duty rate. The order was made by a **Delegate of the Chief Executive Officer** of the Australian Border Force (or its predecessor agency) under the **Customs Act 1901**.\n\n**Key details:**\n- **Tariff classification:** 8427.90.00 (part of the customs tariff for lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery)\n- **Effective date:** 8 May 2007 (\"Op. 08.05.07\")\n- **Order number:** TC 0706837\n- **Issued:** 23 July 2007 by Paul Mercer, a delegated officer"},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The supplied text is a self-contained Tariff Concession Order that defines its scope by specifying the goods covered (manually propelled trolleys meeting two numeric limits).
