Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This by-law (Customs By-law No. 1900564) revokes an earlier by-law and prescribes that goods for use in Petroleum Activities (as defined by the Timor Sea Maritime Boundaries Treaty) in the areas listed at item 14 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 are "prescribed" for the purposes of that item. It explicitly excludes personal or domestic items — food, beverages, tobacco, toiletries and clothing (except protective safety clothing) — from that prescription. The change affects suppliers to offshore petroleum operations and customs treatment of imported goods.
