2/10 complexity

This by-law adopts Article 2.6 of the Australia–US Free Trade Agreement into Australian law, telling customs to apply the AUSFTA rules for when goods are “wholly obtained or produced.” That lets eligible US-origin goods enter Australia under reduced or zero duties (item 20C). It mainly affects importers, exporters and customs brokers who must use and verify those origin rules to claim preferences.
