What does the concession do?
It allows importers to bring these CRT televisions into Australia under Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995. This means they pay a lower import duty rate than the standard tariff.

When does it apply?
The concession took effect on 18 January 2006 and continues until it is formally revoked.
