What this does:
This order cancels a previous tax break for importing specific plastic storage tubs into Australia.
Who it affects:
Businesses that import coloured polypropylene utility tubs with carry handles (falling under customs classification 3923.10.00).
The practical impact:
Previously, these tubs could be imported under "Tariff Concession Order 0803926" (made in May 2008), which allowed them to enter Australia with reduced or zero customs duty. This revocation removes that concession, meaning importers must now pay the standard customs duty rate for these goods.
When it takes effect:
The change is legally effective from 7 April 2010.
