This Order declares that specific subsea hydraulic accumulator modules (tariff classification 8479.89.90), described by a tight technical list of features, are covered by Item 50 in Part III of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995, effective 12 August 2010. It changes the tariff treatment of those imported goods and therefore affects importers, Customs, and suppliers of the listed modules.
The declaration was made by a delegate under s.269P and stays in force until revoked under ss.269SC or 269SD or a specified date; importers must show the goods match the precise specification (central mandrel; piston accumulators ≥34,450 kPa; reservoir accumulator) to obtain the concession, creating classification and evidentiary obligations for businesses and administrative discretion for Customs.
