This document creates a customs duty exemption or reduction for a specific type of industrial machinery imported into Australia.
The goods covered:
- Paper roll elevators with rope lift mechanisms (used in paper mills and printing plants to move large rolls of paper)
- Classified under tariff code 8428.90.00
What the concession does:
It links these elevators to Schedule 4, Item 50 of the Customs Tariff Act 1995. This means importers pay a concessional rate (usually zero or significantly reduced customs duty) instead of the standard tariff rate, provided the goods meet the exact description.
When it applies:
From 25 August 2006 onwards, until the order is revoked or replaced.
Who benefits:
Australian businesses importing this specific equipment, typically in the paper manufacturing or printing industries. The concession reduces the cost of importing specialised machinery that may not be readily available from local manufacturers.
