What this does: This order cancels (revokes) a previous tariff concession that allowed certain industrial parts to enter Australia without paying customs duty.
What goods are affected: Parts for solvent extraction plants, specifically:
- Tanks
- Settlers
- Agitators and/or mixers
These goods fall under customs classification 8479.90.00.
Who is affected: Businesses importing these specific industrial parts. Previously, they could import duty-free under concession order TC 0805145 (granted in June 2008).
Why it matters: From 27 July 2011, these imports became subject to standard customs duties. This increases costs for importers of solvent extraction plant equipment who previously benefited from the duty exemption.
