Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This order makes specific wastewater treatment equipment duty-free when imported into Australia.

What it covers:

Scraper flights (the moving blades or mechanisms) for tanks used in sewage or wastewater treatment plants
Equipment may be imported with or without mounting brackets
Classified under customs tariff code 8479.90.00 (machinery for public works)

How it works: Normally, imported goods attract customs duty (import tax). This order creates a tariff concession under Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995. This means eligible scraper flights can enter Australia without paying duty.

Who it affects: Companies importing wastewater treatment infrastructure, municipal water authorities, and equipment suppliers.

Duration: The concession took effect on 13 June 2007 and remains in force until revoked by the relevant authority.
