This order cancels a previous tax break (called a tariff concession) on imported acoustic enclosures for gas turbines (specialised sound-proof housing for industrial turbine engines).
What it does:
- Revokes Tariff Concession Order 0826387, which originally granted duty-free or reduced-duty status to these goods
- Effective date: 28 May 2009
- Affected goods: Enclosures for gas turbines (and their components like wall panels, roof panels, beams, air ducts, and fans) classified under customs tariff code 9406.00.00
Who it affects:
Businesses importing industrial noise-control equipment for power generation or gas turbine installations. These importers must now pay standard customs duties instead of receiving the previous exemption.
