What this does
This order cancels (revokes) seven specific Tariff Concession Orders (TCOs) that previously allowed certain goods to be imported into Australia without paying customs duty (duty-free) or at reduced rates.
Who it affects
Businesses and importers who were importing goods under the following concession numbers:
- 0514905
- 0607262
- 0610660
- 0614095
- 0614121
- 0618073
- 0619996
Why it matters
From 9 December 2010, imports of these specific goods are no longer eligible for the previous duty concessions. Importers must now pay standard customs duties unless they can obtain a different concession or exemption. This is an administrative revocation made under the Customs Act 1901.
