Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Act retrospectively validates customs duties the Australian Government collected under four tariff announcements made in late 1965 (28 Oct, 16 & 18 Nov, 1 Dec). Any duties levied under those proposals up to 13 February 1966 are declared lawfully imposed and collected. It therefore bars importers from reclaiming refunds for that interim period and secures the revenue retained by the Australian Customs Service.
