What this does: This order gives importers a customs duty break — specifically a tariff concession — for certain "Mobile Manufacturing Units" brought into Australia.
The specific goods: The concession applies to mobile manufacturing units that are classified under tariff code 8705.90.00 (which covers special purpose motor vehicles). To qualify, the unit must include all four of these components:
- Tanks
- Mixers
- Hoppers
- Pumps
Who benefits: Businesses importing these specific mobile manufacturing units (likely used in construction, mining, or industrial processing) can bring them in under Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995. This typically means paying zero customs duty instead of the standard rate.
Key details: The order took effect on 16 November 2005 and remains valid until revoked or replaced. It was issued under the Customs Act 1901 by a delegate of the Australian Border Force (or its predecessor agency).
