This is a Tariff Concession Order—a legal instrument that allows specific goods to be imported into Australia without paying customs duty.
What it covers:
- Suction street sweepers (cleaning vehicles) with a hopper capacity of at least 3.6 cubic metres
- Classified under customs tariff code 8705.90.00
What it means:
Businesses or councils importing these specific street sweepers can claim a duty exemption under Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff. This reduces the cost of importing this equipment for local government or private contractors.
Key details:
- Issued by Paul Mercer (acting as a delegate of the Customs CEO) on 12 October 2007
- Took effect from 7 August 2007
- Remains valid indefinitely until revoked under sections 269SC or 269SD of the Customs Act
