This order cancels a duty-free concession for importing specific children's toys into Australia.
What it does
- Revokes Tariff Concession Order 0614591, which previously allowed certain plastic wheeled ride-on toys for children to enter Australia without paying customs duty (import tariffs)
- Applies to toys classified under tariff code 9503.00.10: plastic wheeled ride-on toys with no wooden components
Who it affects
- Importers of these toys, who will now face customs duties when bringing them into Australia
- Retailers and consumers, who may see price increases on these goods
Why it matters
The Australian Government grants tariff concessions only when no local manufacturer makes similar products. Revoking this concession indicates that Australian-made substitutes are now available, removing the need to protect local industry from import competition.
