This order lets businesses import aluminium drink bottles (such as reusable water bottles) at a reduced or zero customs duty rate.
What it covers:
- Aluminium bottles designed for holding drinks
- Whether they come with an insulated pouch, a carabiner (clip), or neither
- Goods classified under tariff code 7615.19.00
How it works:
The order declares these bottles are eligible for Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995. This is a concessional tariff item, meaning importers can claim a lower duty rate than the standard rate that would normally apply to these goods.
When it applies:
From 6 April 2011 onwards, until the order is revoked or replaced under the Customs Act.
