What this does:
This order gives importers a tariff concession (a discount or exemption on customs duty) for bringing silicone emulsions into Australia.
Who it affects:
Businesses that import silicone emulsions classified under customs code 3910.00.00.
How it works:
- The order was made by a delegate of the Customs CEO under the Customs Act 1901.
- It applies Schedule 4, Item 50 of the Customs Tariff (which provides the duty concession).
- The concession took effect on 1 December 2006 and remains in force until revoked.
Why it matters:
Without this order, importers would pay standard customs duty on these goods. This reduces costs for Australian businesses that rely on silicone emulsions (used in manufacturing, cosmetics, lubricants, and coatings).
