Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This notice is the Minister for Agriculture’s formal declaration that 2008 imports of canned tuna (including skipjack and bonito) exceeded Australia’s annual safeguard threshold.

That confirmation lets Customs impose emergency measures—extra tariffs or import restrictions—throughout 2008 to protect domestic canneries. It mainly affects importers and the seafood processing industry and could lead to higher retail prices if additional costs are passed on.
