This order removes a customs duty exemption for sports bags.
Previously, Tariff Concession Order 0505972 allowed sports bags (classified under tariff code 4202.92.90) to enter Australia without paying standard import duties. This revocation cancels that concession effective 6 June 2007.
Key points:
- What changes: Sports bags under tariff classification 4202.92.90 will now attract standard customs duties instead of entering duty-free
- Who is affected: Businesses importing these specific sports bags
- Legal basis: Made under section 269SH(5) of the Customs Act 1901, which allows the Chief Executive Officer (or their delegate) to revoke existing tariff concessions
