What this does
This is a Tariff Concession Order (TCO) — a type of delegated legislation that reduces or eliminates customs duty on specific imported goods. It allows wire benders (machinery used to bend wire) to be imported under concessional duty rates.
Who it affects
Businesses importing wire benders classified under customs tariff code 8479.89.90 (which covers miscellaneous machinery for public works, building, or similar purposes).
What it means
- Goods covered by this order qualify for Item 50 of Part III, Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995. This typically means duty-free importation, provided no equivalent goods are manufactured in Australia.
- The concession took effect on 21 April 2006 and remains in force until it is revoked or replaced.
Legal basis
Made under section 269P of the Customs Act 1901 by a delegate of the Chief Executive Officer (Australian Border Force).
