Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This document cancels nine specific customs by-laws that previously allowed certain imported goods to enter Australia at reduced or zero customs duty rates.

Under Australia's customs system, by-laws can grant exemptions or concessions from standard import duties for specific goods. This instrument revokes (cancels) nine such by-laws that were originally published in the Trade Customs Gazette between February 2002 and July 2004.

What this means:

The revoked by-laws all related to Item 65 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 (a specific category of tariff concessions)
Once this revocation takes effect on 24 June 2005, importers can no longer use these specific by-laws to reduce duty on their goods
Affected importers must pay standard duty rates or find other applicable concessions

The instrument is made under the Customs Act 1901 by a delegate of the Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Customs Service.
