This document is a Tariff Concession Order — a legal instrument that gives importers a tax break on specific imported goods.
Specifically, it allows businesses to import robot-controlled brick palletizing lines (machinery used to automatically stack bricks onto pallets) without paying the usual customs duty, or at a significantly reduced rate. The goods fall under tariff classification 8428.90.00 and are covered by Item 50 in Schedule 4 of the Customs Tariff Act 1995.
The concession took effect on 24 October 2008 and remains in force until it is formally revoked under sections 269SC or 269SD of the Customs Act 1901. It was issued by a delegate of the Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Customs Service.
Why this matters: If you are a brick manufacturer importing this specific automated equipment, this Order saves you money by reducing or eliminating the import duty that would normally apply.
