This Tariff Concession Order gives a customs duty exemption (or reduction) for specific industrial safety equipment used in painting systems.
What it covers:
- Stanchions (upright posts) and mesh panels used for access control in continuous paint lines (industrial conveyor systems for painting products).
- These parts are classified under tariff code 8479.90.90 (parts for industrial machines).
What it means:
If you import these specific safety barriers, you can claim Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995. This allows the goods to enter Australia without paying the usual customs duty, provided they match the exact description.
Who it affects:
Businesses importing industrial paint line equipment or replacement safety barriers. The concession took effect on 17 August 2006 and remains valid until revoked.
