This order cancels a previous tariff concession (a duty-free or reduced-duty arrangement) for specific electrical cables.
What it does:
- Revokes Tariff Concession Order 9810784, which previously allowed certain cables to enter Australia without paying standard customs duties
- Targets specifically: single core electrical cables rated at 50 volts and 120 amps maximum, falling under tariff code 8544.49.90
- Takes effect from 17 November 2006
Who it affects:
- Importers of these specific electrical cables
- Businesses that rely on importing single core cables rated at 50V/120A
Why it matters:
Without this concession, importers must now pay full customs duties on these cables, potentially increasing costs for businesses and end consumers.
