This is a Tariff Concession Order (TCO) — a legal document that allows specific imported goods to enter Australia without paying customs duty (or at a reduced rate).
What it covers:
Electric key switch locks that come with both keys and a wiring loom (wiring harness), classified under customs code 8301.40.00.
What it means:
Businesses importing these specific locks can apply to have them entered under Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995. This typically means duty-free importation, provided no Australian manufacturer produces similar goods that could substitute for these imports.
Who it affects:
Importers of industrial or security locking mechanisms that use electric key switches with integrated wiring.
When it applies:
From 22 November 2005 onwards, until the order is revoked or an expiry date is set.
