This order gives a customs duty concession (likely duty-free import) for a specific type of industrial cooling equipment.
What it covers
Large air handling machines used in data storage buildings (such as data centres) that have a heat exchanger wheel with a diameter of 300 cm or larger.
How it works
If you are importing this exact equipment (falling under tariff classification 8415.82.00), you can claim Item 50 in Schedule 4 of the Customs Tariff. This means you don't pay the usual import duty on these goods.
Why it exists
These are highly specialised, oversized cooling units that are typically not made in Australia. The concession reduces costs for companies building or upgrading data centres, ensuring they can access necessary infrastructure without paying punitive import taxes.
Duration
The concession took effect on 2 March 2010 and continues indefinitely unless formally cancelled or replaced.
