Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this law does This Act imposes a registration charge (fee) on businesses that import or manufacture industrial chemicals.

Why this separate law exists The Australian Constitution (section 55) requires that any tax on imported goods—called a duty of customs—must be set out in its own separate law. This Act exists purely to satisfy that constitutional rule. The actual details of the charge—how much it costs, who exactly pays it, and when—are contained in the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Act 1989.

Who it affects Companies that import or manufacture industrial chemicals and must register under Australia's chemical notification scheme.

How it works

The Act formally "imposes" the charge that section 80S of the 1989 Industrial Chemicals Act describes
It only applies to the extent the charge qualifies as a customs duty under the Constitution
You cannot understand this Act without reading the 1989 Act alongside it
