This Act retrospectively validates customs duties charged under two tariff proposals introduced into the House of Representatives on 25 October 1979 and 8 November 1979, covering any duties demanded or collected up to 30 June 1980. It protects importers who paid in good faith and secures government revenue by preventing legal challenges to those collections on technical grounds.
