What this Act does (mechanics first)
Implements transitional and application rules to move imports from the old Customs regime to the new International Trade Modernisation (ITM) import regime. It fixes a default cut‑over time (2:00 am ACT, 12 Oct 2005) and requires the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Australian Customs Service to specify a short "turn‑off" period after cut‑over for system switchover (see sections 5–6). The Act lets the CEO delay the cut‑over within a fixed window (must be before end of 7 Nov 2005) and to set/alter the turn‑off time by legislative instrument (s 5–6).
Controls which set of rules applies to particular shipments and goods during the switchover:
Changes to how certain communications and contingency arrangements operate during the switchover:

(1) The import cut‑over time is: (a) 2 am by legal time in the Australian Capital Territory on 12 October 2005; or (b) a later time specified by the CEO by legislative instrument. (2) If the CEO specifies a later time under paragraph (1)(b), the CEO may, before that later time, by legislative instrument, specify a different later time as the import cut‑over time. (3) A later time must be before the end of 7 November 2005.
(1) The CEO must, by legislative instrument, specify a time not more than 40 days (including Sundays and holidays) after the import cut‑over time as the turn‑off time.

(1) To the extent that the ITM import amendments would, apart from this section, apply in relation to goods that are, or are intended to be, imported into Australia, then, subject to sections 9, 10 and 11, those amendments only apply in relation to: (a) goods that are on board a ship or aircraft that is due to arrive at its first port or airport in Australia from a place outside Australia at or after the import cut‑over time; or (b) goods that are or were on board a ship or aircraft that has arrived at its first port or airport in Australia from a place outside Australia, if the ship or aircraft was due to arrive at that port or airport at or after the import cut‑over time; or (c) goods that are or were on board a ship or aircraft that arrives at its first port or airport in Australia from a place outside Australia at or after the turn‑off time. (2) To avoid doubt, paragraphs (1)(a) and (b) apply even if the ship or aircraft arrives at its first port or airport in Australia before the import cut‑over time. (3) To avoid doubt, the unamended Customs Act continues to apply in relation to the goods if the ship or aircraft is due to arrive at its first port or airport in Australia before the import cut‑over time, unless the ship or aircraft arrives after the turn‑off time.
In relation to warehoused goods (within the meaning of the Customs Act 1901) that are intended to be entered for home consumption: (a) an entry of those goods for home consumption made before the ITM import commencement date must be made in accordance with the unamended Customs Act; and (b) an entry of those goods for home consumption made on or after the ITM import commencement date must be made in accordance with the amended Customs Act.
In relation to a return that a person is required to give Customs under subsection 69(5) of the Customs Act 1901: (a) a return given before the ITM import commencement date must be given in accordance with the unamended Customs Act; and (b) a return given after the ITM import commencement date must be given in accordance with the amended Customs Act.
In relation to a return that a person is required to give Customs under subsection 70(7) of the Customs Act 1901: (a) a return given before the ITM import commencement date must be given in accordance with the unamended Customs Act; and (b) a return given after the ITM import commencement date must be given in accordance with the amended Customs Act.

If a person is required to make a report under section 64 of the unamended Customs Act after the turn‑off time, then, despite subsection (2A) of that section, the person must make the report by document, telephone call or fax and not by computer.
If a person is required to make a report under section 64AB of the unamended Customs Act after the turn‑off time, then, despite subsection (3A) of that section, the person must make the report by document and not by computer.
A person who, after the turn‑off time, communicates a variation of a cargo report that was made under section 64AB of the unamended Customs Act must, despite section 64ABA of the unamended Customs Act, communicate the variation by document and not by computer.
If: (a) the owner of goods has entered the goods under section 71A of the unamended Customs Act; and (b) the entry was effected by computer; and (c) Customs has not, by the turn‑off time, given the person to whom the import entry advice was given in relation to the goods an authority to deal with the goods (within the meaning of section 4 of the Customs Act 1901); then, despite paragraph 71B(4)(d) of the unamended Customs Act, Customs may give that authority to the person in writing without transmitting the authority by computer.
If: (a) a ship or aircraft was due to arrive at its first port or airport in Australia from a place outside Australia before the import cut‑over time; and (b) the ship or aircraft arrived before the turn‑off time; and (c) goods that are or were on board the ship or aircraft are goods to which section 68 applies; and (d) by the turn‑off time, those goods have not been entered under section 71A of the Customs Act 1901; then: (e) the goods must be entered under the unamended Customs Act; and (f) despite paragraph 71A(1)(d) of the unamended Customs Act, the entry must be made by document.
Despite Division 2 of this Act, the following sections of the unamended Customs Act cease to have effect from the turn‑off time: (a) section 67E (what happens if a cargo automation system is down); (b) section 77C (contingency arrangements to apply when the COMPILE computer system is down); (c) section 77D (contingency arrangements for goods not the subject of an import entry advice); (d) section 77E (contingency arrangements for goods the subject of an import entry advice).
Despite subitem 38(1) of Schedule 1 to the Customs Legislation Amendment Act (No. 2) 2003, sections 126D and 126DA of the Customs Act 1901 have effect according to their terms from the ITM import commencement date.

Substantive amendments to the Customs Act (inserted by Schedule 1) create a new, bespoke clearance regime for defined classes of goods:
Other substantive and consequential changes (Schedule 2 and various items):
Who is affected
Why it matters — stated purpose and the trade‑offs the text creates
Stated purpose: to provide transitional and application rules so the ITM import amendments are introduced in an orderly way and to make complementary changes to customs law (preparatory and enabling mechanics at ss 4–6, 7–12, and s 19).
Mechanisms that produce benefits and costs:
Implementation, compliance and enforcement risks
Implementation risk is material: the Act depends on multiple commencement triggers (the ITM import commencement date and CEO legislative instruments) and on existing ITM schedules in other Acts (see the commences table and s 4 definitions). If the electronic platform rollout, CEO instruments or related provisions in other Acts are delayed, affected businesses need to track multiple switching conditions.
Compliance burden is asymmetric: large freight integrators, major importers and e‑commerce platforms are positioned to absorb electronic declaration requirements; small vendors and individual consumers face relatively higher per‑shipment costs and cashflow pressures (payment before release rule, s 71AAAL).
Bureaucratic discretion is increased in two ways: the CEO sets timing instruments and technical determinations (ss 5–6, 153AC); the Minister can order detention of goods on a public interest basis (ss 77EA–77EF). Those discretions concentrate decision rights in the executive and create legal risk for affected owners unless delegated procedures and review rights are clear (some decision communications must be in writing/electronically—see s 71AAAB(3)).
Concrete sections to note when you look the law up
(Reference: commencement and transition rules are in Part 2 and the schedules insert and amend the listed provisions of the Customs Act 1901.)
