This order gives a customs duty exemption (called a tariff concession) for specific industrial cleaning equipment.
What it covers:
- Internal cleaners for heat exchanger bundles (machinery used to clean the tube bundles inside heat exchangers)
- Classified under customs tariff code 8479.89.90
What this means:
Normally, importing goods attracts customs duty (import tax). This order declares that these specific industrial cleaners are eligible for Item 50 in Schedule 4 of the Customs Tariff, which means they can be imported duty-free (or at a reduced rate).
Who cares:
- Companies importing heat exchanger cleaning equipment
- Manufacturers and maintenance firms in industries like power generation, oil refining, and chemical processing that use heat exchangers
The order took effect on 22 March 2006 and remains in force until revoked.
