Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal proclamation (an official government notice) signed by the Governor-General on 7 July 2005. It sets 19 July 2005 as the date when specific parts of the Customs Legislation Amendment and Repeal (International Trade Modernisation) Act 2001 come into force.

What it does:

Activates various provisions across three Schedules of the 2001 Act, including:
- Part 4 of Schedule 1
- Selected items in Schedules 2 and 3
- Specific sections dealing with customs procedures and international trade rules

Why it matters: Parliament had already passed the 2001 Act, but the changes didn't happen immediately. This proclamation acts as the 'on switch,' telling businesses, customs brokers, and government agencies exactly when these modernised trade rules start applying.

Who it affects: Importers, exporters, customs brokers, and the Australian Border Force (formerly Customs Service), who needed to prepare for these specific changes by 19 July 2005.
