Commonwealth act
This Act imposes the ‘tradex duty’ created by the Tradex Scheme Act 1999, but only to the extent the tax qualifies as a customs duty under the Constitution. It sets the tradex duty equal to the customs duty that would have applied under the Customs Tariff Act 1995 if the goods had not used item 21A. The Act does not apply to Norfolk Island and excludes property of a State. Importers bear the charge and existing customs rules determine collection and compliance.
