Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This order removes a tax break on specific mining equipment imported into Australia.

What it does:

Cancels Tariff Concession Order 0603533, which had previously allowed certain underground mining equipment to enter Australia without paying customs duty (import tax)
The affected equipment is classified as "integrated underground mining plant" that includes all of the following components: refrigerators, ventilators, communicators, controllers, transporters, paste fillers, and refuge chambers (categorized under tariff code 8479.89.90)

Who it affects:

Mining companies and suppliers importing this specialized safety and operational equipment from 27 July 2011 onwards
These importers must now pay standard customs duties instead of bringing the goods in duty-free

Why it matters:

Increases import costs for businesses buying this foreign-made equipment for underground mines
The change suggests domestic manufacturers may now be able to supply this equipment competitively, or the government no longer wishes to subsidize these specific imports
