What this does
This order cancels a special import duty discount (called a tariff concession) for a specific type of road construction equipment.
The details
It revokes concession order TC 0824732, which previously allowed importers to bring in trailer-mounted mixing plants for cold asphalt recycling (machinery used to reuse old road materials) without paying full customs duty. The revocation takes effect on 27 July 2011, meaning the concession ends the day before (26 July 2011).
Who it affects
Businesses importing this specific machinery classified under tariff code 8474.32.00. After the revocation date, these importers must pay standard customs duties instead of benefiting from the concession.
Why it matters
This likely indicates the government determined that similar equipment is now manufactured in Australia (or local industry no longer needs protection), so the duty exemption is no longer justified. It increases import costs for this specific equipment but may benefit domestic manufacturers.
