This order cancels a previous tax break for importing specific industrial machine parts.
What it does:
It revokes (cancels) Tariff Concession Order 0903369, which previously allowed certain gearbox parts for sinter plants—specifically tie bars or tension bars—to be imported with reduced or no customs duty (tariff).
Who it affects:
Importers of these specific mechanical parts (classified under customs code 8483.90.00) used in sintering plants (industrial facilities that process ore into solid lumps before smelting).
When it takes effect:
The revocation applies from 27 July 2011 (despite the order being signed on 29 July 2011).
Why it matters:
From the effective date, importers must pay standard customs duties on these parts instead of the concessional rate. This removes a cost advantage for businesses importing these specific industrial components, likely affecting mining or heavy manufacturing operations.
