This document cancels (revokes) a previous tariff concession that allowed specific steel cylinders to be imported into Australia at reduced or zero customs duty rates.
What it does
- Removes Tariff Concession Order 0509809, which applied to electric resistance welded steel cylinders (falling under customs tariff code 7306.20.00)
- From 4 November 2005 onwards, importers of these goods must pay standard duty rates instead of the concessional rate
Who it affects
- Businesses importing steel cylinders manufactured using electric resistance welding
- Importers who previously relied on the revoked concession (TC 0509809) for duty relief
Why it matters
- Increases import costs for these specific steel products by removing the duty exemption
- Represents a change in trade policy or local industry protection measures for steel products
