What this does
This order cancels (revokes) a previous tariff concession for importing a specific chemical called 2,2'-oxydiethanol (also known as diethylene glycol). This chemical is commonly used in antifreeze, solvents, and plastics manufacturing.
What is a tariff concession?
It is an exemption or reduction from customs duty (import tax) granted for specific goods. By revoking concession TC 0838090, this order removes that duty benefit.
Who is affected
Businesses importing this chemical under customs tariff classification 2909.41.00 must now pay standard import duties rather than the concessional (reduced or zero) rate.
When it applies
The revocation took effect on 4 June 2009.
