This determination, made by a delegate of the Chief Executive Officer under s153R(1), declares the listed goods are not “commercially manufactured in Australia” for the purposes of ss153P–153Q of the Customs Act 1901 and revokes the earlier 1983 determination. It changes the legal finding used when applying the tariff references in the Schedule (free or 3% rates under Schedules 3 and 4 of the Customs Tariff Act 1995). The delegate decides; importers of the listed goods bear the compliance and tariff consequences.
