What this does:
This order reduces or eliminates the import duty (customs tariff) on a specific type of paper. It allows importers to bring in machine-glazed poster paper coated with china clay on one side (tariff code 4810.19.90) under a concessional rate listed as Item 50 in Schedule 4 of the Customs Tariff Act 1995.
Who it affects:
Australian businesses importing this specific type of coated paper for posters, printing, or packaging.
Key details:
- Effective from: 3 July 2007
- Valid until: Revoked by the government or superseded
- Legal basis: Made under Section 269P of the Customs Act 1901
Why it matters:
Without this concession, importers would pay the standard rate of customs duty on this paper. The order makes it cheaper to import this specific product, typically to support local manufacturers who use it as raw material or to ensure competitive pricing for Australian businesses.
