Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This order hands Australian businesses a customs duty break when importing specific copper strips used to build electrical transformers.

The deal: If you import rectangular copper strips covered with paper (the kind used for winding transformer coils), you can bring them in under tariff item 50—which typically means paying zero customs duty instead of the standard rate.

Specifics:

Customs classification: 7408.19.00 (copper wire and strips)
Covered by: Item 50, Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995
Issued: By delegate Michael Perry under section 269P of the Customs Act 1901
Running since: 23 November 2005
Expiry: When revoked (no fixed end date)

The bottom line: This keeps costs down for transformer manufacturers who need this specialised copper component, assuming they can't source it locally. It's a niche exemption for a niche product—classic customs administration.
