The replacement order applies from that same date.\n- Both the revoked and replacement entries cover the same physical product: ch lorsulfuron in a wettable powder form at 75% strength (a sulfonylurea herbicide). The specification allows a tolerance of plus or minus 5% on the stated strength.\n- The change is administrative: it replaces the customs tariff classification code and the Schedule 4 item number that attach the concession to those goods (see Table A and Table B).\n\n**Who this affects\n\n- Importers and customs brokers declaring ch lorsulfuron wettable powder (75% strength).\n- Distributors, agricultural chemical manufacturers and downstream users who rely on the relevant tariff concession to reduce import duty costs.\n- The Australian Border Force and the Department responsible for administering tariff concessions (for compliance, collection and classification work).\n\n**Why it matters (practical effect)\n\n- Tariff classification codes (the 4-, 6- or 8-digit numbers shown) and the Schedule 4 item number determine whether a particular import is eligible for a duty concession (reduced or nil duty) under the Customs Tariff Act 1995.\n- Changing the tariff heading or the Schedule 4 item can change the concession that applies, and therefore change the duty payable on imports of this product.\n- Practically, affected importers must update their import declarations to the new tariff code and Schedule 4 item; they may face different duty bills, accounting adjustments, or the need to amend past entries if the change is treated retroactively.\n\n**Legal authority and form\n\n- The instrument is made under section 269SD(2) of the Customs Act 1901 (administrative power of a delegate of the Chief Executive Officer to revoke and make Tariff Concession Orders).\n- It cross-references Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 to attach the appropriate Schedule 4 item to the replacement TCO.\n\n**Source's stated purpose and practical test\n\n- The instrument, on its face, is intended to update the tariff classification and Schedule 4 indexing for an existing concession (revocation + replacement).\n- Costs and incentives: if the replacement Schedule 4 item or tariff classification carries a different duty outcome, importers pay more or less duty accordingly. That directly affects import prices and the relative competitiveness of imported versus domestically produced goods.\n- Compliance burden: importers and customs brokers must update classification in systems and declarations. If the change is applied from 1 January 2007 (a past date), businesses may need to review declarations lodged since that date and may face administrative or financial adjustments.\n- Bureaucratic discretion: the action is taken by a CEO delegate under a statutory power; it is an administrative change rather than primary legislation. The instrument does not itself set policy on tariffs — it implements classification and concession details within existing statutory frameworks.\n\n**Trade-offs, implementation risks and likely behaviour changes\n\n- Implementation risk: retroactive effective date can create record-keeping and reconciliation work and, in some cases, disputes over applied duty and refunds.\n- Behavioural effects: importers may reclassify or alter product specifications to remain eligible for favourable treatment, or change sourcing if duty outcomes become less favourable.\n- Revenue and market effects: depending on the duty result attached to the new item, the government’s revenue may rise or fall slightly; downstream prices or competitiveness for domestic producers may shift accordingly.\n\n**What to watch for in practice\n\n- Whether the Schedule 4 item number in the replacement TCO produces the same concession level (nil duty, reduced duty or no concession). The instrument itself does not state the numerical duty rate—those outcomes are determined by the referenced Schedule 4 item and the Customs Tariff Act 1995.\n- Any required amendments to import entries made since 1 January 2007 and whether customs will allow retrospective adjustments.\n\n(Authority cited: Customs Act 1901 s 269SD(2); cross-reference to Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 as indicated in the instrument.)"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-hs2007-172a-tariff-concession-order-0614105","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-hs2007-172a-tariff-concession-order-0614105/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-hs2007-172a-tariff-concession-order-0614105/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-hs2007-172a-tariff-concession-order-0614105/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-hs2007-172a-tariff-concession-order-0614105/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-hs2007-172a-tariff-concession-order-0614105/documents"}}
