This document is a Tariff Concession Order (TCO) — essentially a customs duty exemption for specific imported goods.
What it does:
It allows certain redemption tickets (the kind used in arcades, promotions, or lotteries) to be imported into Australia without paying customs duty (or at a significantly reduced rate).
Specifically covered:
- Tickets classified under tariff code 4911.99.00 (printed matter)
- Must be sequentially numbered and perforated
Why it matters:
Normally, printed matter like tickets attracts import duty. This order grants a concession under Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995, meaning eligible tickets can enter Australia duty-free.
Who is affected:
Businesses importing redemption tickets for commercial use (e.g., gaming venues, promotional companies).
Duration:
The concession took effect on 20 February 2007 and remains in force until revoked.
