Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This by-law determines which imported brake fluids qualify for a specific customs tariff classification.

What it does It prescribes (officially lists) polyglycol brake fluids for Item 53 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995. These are non-petroleum based hydraulic fluids used in vehicle braking systems.

Requirements To qualify, the brake fluids must:

Be classified under tariff heading 3819.00.00 (Schedule 3); and
Meet Australian Standard AS 1960.1-2005 (the safety standard for non-petroleum motor vehicle brake fluids).

Who it affects Importers of automotive brake fluids. The by-law acts as a gateway—only products meeting the Australian safety standard can access the tariff treatment under Item 53 of Schedule 4.

Why it matters Schedule 4 Item 53 typically provides specific duty rates or concessions. This by-law ensures imported brake fluids meet Australian safety specifications before they can benefit from this tariff treatment.
