What this does: This order gives importers a discount on customs duties (tariffs) when bringing colour television receivers into Australia.
How it works:
- Who benefits: Businesses importing colour TVs classified under tariff code 8528.12.00
- The concession: These goods qualify for Item 50 in Schedule 4 of the Customs Tariff, which typically means paying reduced or zero import duty
- When it applies: From 15 February 2006 onwards, until cancelled or replaced
Why it matters: Without this order, importers would pay the standard tariff rate. This makes imported colour TVs cheaper, potentially saving money for retailers and consumers.
