What this does: This order gives importers a discount on customs duty (called a tariff concession) when bringing certain gazebos into Australia.
Which goods are covered:
- Gazebos with a steel tubular frame
- A canopy made of woven polyethylene plastic, laminated on both sides with plastic film
- Classified under customs tariff code 3926.90.90
What it means: These gazebos qualify for Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995. This allows them to be imported with reduced or zero duty instead of the standard tariff rate.
Who it affects: Businesses importing these specific gazebos save money at the border. The concession took effect on 29 March 2006 and remains active until revoked by the government.
Why it exists: This type of concession (called a "By-Law") is only granted when no Australian manufacturer is producing substitutable goods locally.
