This order allows aeroplane passenger boarding bridges (the enclosed, movable walkways that connect airport terminals to aircraft) to be imported into Australia without paying customs duty.
Specifically, it covers:
- The boarding bridges themselves
- Control consoles (the operating stations)
- Auto-levellers (mechanisms that adjust the bridge height to match the aircraft door)
- Electrical cabinets (power distribution units)
The goods must fall under customs classification code 8428.90.00. The concession took effect on 26 March 2010 and stays in force until cancelled. This reduces costs for airports and airlines buying this specialised equipment from overseas.
