This order applies item 50 of Schedule 4 of the Customs Tariff Act 1995 to imported plastic, ultraviolet photochromic spectacle lenses (tariff heading 9001.50.00), with effect from 16 September 2009. It was made by a delegate of the Chief Executive Officer under s.269P of the Customs Act 1901 and remains in force until revoked under ss.269SC or 269SD.
Who pays/benefits: importers of these lenses obtain the Schedule 4 tariff treatment (reducing customs duty payable); the Commonwealth forgoes that revenue. The measure relies on correct tariff classification and routine administrative compliance.
