Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This by-law lets certain aluminium sheet imports enter Australia at a reduced or zero customs duty when they are used to manufacture aluminium beverage cans. It targets importers and can manufacturers by tying the concession to specific tariff classifications and precise material specifications for can body, lid and tab stock.

The rule lowers input costs for local can production while imposing strict technical limits so the concession applies only to sheet clearly intended for beverage cans.
