Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This Act retrospectively validates customs duties charged on imports under three tariff proposals introduced in Oct–Dec 1976, making those collections lawful for any duties demanded or paid up to 30 June 1977. It bars importers from claiming refunds and secures government revenue, removing legal uncertainty over duties collected before the proposals became formal law.
