This Tariff Concession Order treats a narrowly defined class of imported industrial ball valves as eligible for a Schedule 4 tariff concession from 21 May 2010. It covers flanged, split‑body, lockable, lever‑ or gearbox‑operated trunnion or floating ball valves that meet the specified DN, ASME B16.34‑1998 and inlet‑pressure criteria.
It affects importers and buyers by applying concessional tariff treatment to qualifying valves; the CEO’s delegate (Paul Mercer) declared the Order and it remains in force until revoked. Importers must ensure shipments match the technical description to receive the concession.
