What this does: This order cancels a previous tariff concession (a duty-free or reduced-duty import arrangement) for specific plastic pipe fittings.
Who it affects: Importers bringing in conduit fittings classified under customs code 3917.40.00 (plastic tube or pipe fittings).
What changes: These goods will no longer benefit from Tariff Concession Order 0715090. This means importers must now pay standard customs duties on these items instead of receiving the exemption.
When it takes effect: 22 February 2008.
Why it matters: This removes a financial advantage for importers of these specific plastic fittings, likely intended to protect local Australian manufacturers of similar products from cheaper imports.
