What this does: Removes a special tax break (called a tariff concession) for importing a very specific type of paper.
Who it affects: Companies importing bleached, machine-glazed paper weighing between 39 and 41 grams per square metre that complies with US food safety standards (specifically the USA Federal Food and Cosmetic Act).
The change: As of 22 July 2010, importers of this paper must pay standard customs duties instead of the lower concessional rate previously allowed under Order TC 0707620.
Why it matters: This increases the cost of importing this specific paper (commonly used in food packaging) by removing the preferential tariff treatment that had been in place since 2007.
