Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This rule sets a 40% local-content threshold for car wiring harnesses (tariff code 8544.30.00) manufactured in Samoa to qualify for reduced Australian import duties under Pacific trade arrangements. It requires at least 40% of total factory cost to come from Samoan production, labour, or materials—deterring token assembly—and affects Australian importers, Samoan exporters, and customs brokers calculating tariffs. The measure is temporary for its specified operation period.
