This order removes a tax break for importing specific industrial equipment used in asphalt production.
What it does
It cancels (revokes) a previous Tariff Concession Order (0833446) that allowed certain bucket elevators—machines that move materials vertically in asphalt plants—to be imported without paying customs duty.
Who it affects
Businesses importing bucket elevators (customs classification 8428.32.00) specifically designed for use in asphalt plants. From the effective date, these importers must pay standard customs duties instead of benefiting from the previous exemption.
When it applies
The revocation took effect on 27 July 2011.
Why it matters
This increases costs for companies importing this specific machinery for road construction and asphalt manufacturing, as they lose the duty-free status that had been available since September 2008.
