Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This order cancels a previous tax break (called a tariff concession) for importing specific tea bag packaging machines into Australia.

What it does:

Revokes Tariff Concession Order 0704537, which previously allowed certain packaging machines to be imported without paying customs duty (or at a reduced rate)
The affected machines are those that make individual tea bags, pack them into cartons, and seal the cartons (tariff code 8422.40.90)

Who it affects:

Why it matters:

Imports of these machines will now attract customs duty, increasing costs for affected businesses
The revocation takes effect from 20 March 2007 (backdated), meaning imports after that date are affected even though the order was signed on 18 April 2007
