This order cancels a previous tariff concession for silicone emulsions, meaning importers must pay standard customs duties instead of reduced rates.
What it does
- Revokes (cancels) Tariff Concession Order 0619263, which previously allowed silicone emulsions (tariff code 3910.00.00) to enter Australia at a reduced customs duty rate
- The cancellation takes effect from 24 September 2007
Who it affects
- Businesses importing silicone emulsions classified under tariff heading 3910.00.00
- Customs brokers and freight forwarders handling these goods
Why it matters
- Without the concession, these goods attract the standard tariff rate, potentially increasing import costs for manufacturers and distributors
- This removes a duty benefit that had been available since December 2006
