This Order applies a specified Schedule 4 tariff item (item 50) to a particular kind of rubber matting (rubber matting with raised stipples/nipples, checker plate or ribbing on one surface), effective 14 November 2006. It changes the tariff treatment that importers and suppliers of that matting face and remains in force until revoked under the Customs Act.
Who is affected: importers and businesses trading in the listed matting, because the Order alters the tariff classification they must use and thus their cost and sourcing choices.
