12 Customs Initiated Intention to Revoke TCOs Commonwealth of Australia Gazette


Customs Initi ated Intention to R evoke TCOs

CUSTOMS ACT 1901

INTENTION TO REVOKE TARIFF CONCESSION ORDERS

It is intended to revoke the Tariff Concession Order for the goods described in the following TABLE.

The Chief Executive Officer’s (CEO’s), delegate has declared the intention, subject to s.269SD(1AB), to make

an order revoking the TCO in the table below with effect from Thursday 13 November 2014. On 14 October 2014,

the CEO’s delegate formed the belief in respect of the TCO, that if the TCO was not in force on that day, and

an application for the TCO was made on that day, the CEO would not have made the TCO.

That is because the TCOs are considered to be unnecessary. A TCO is considered to be unnecessary if the goods

covered by that TCO can be imported under another, often more recent, TCO that often covers a broader range of

goods.

Importers and customs brokers will not be disadvantaged by the revocation action, as TCOs will continue to

apply to the same range of goods. Before attempting to use a TCO, an importer or customs broker should check

the list of concessional instruments to ensure that the TCO still exists.

Interested parties are invited to provide, by close of business Wednesday 12 November 2014, written reasons

why the TCOs should not be revoked.

Contact: email [email protected] , fax 02 6275 6376 or telephone 02 6122 5540.

For information on these Customs initiated revocations see Australian Customs Notice (ACN) 2003/68 available

Consultati on – Legislati ve Proposal

CONSULTATION – LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL: DEREGULATION

Public comment is sought on a proposal to remove a redundant provision in the Customs Act 1901 that requires

manufacturers to supply details of their manufacturing costs when seeking to revoke a Tariff Concession Order

(TCO), or objecting to the making of a TCO.

Background

Australian manufacturers have the right to apply to revoke a Tariff Concession Order or to object to the

making of a new Tariff Concession Order. To do so, Australian manufacturers must meet two tests relating to

their production. They are required to provide evidence that at least 25% of factory costs occur in Australia

and demonstrate that a substantial process of manufacture occurs in Australia.

In the last 100 cases where the Australian manufacturer demonstrated that a substantial process of manufacture

occurred in Australia, they always easily exceeded the 25% costs test. The costs’ test is therefore

unnecessary and imposes a significant financial workload on Australian manufacturers. Provision of costings

is time-consuming as balance sheets, accounting worksheets, sales invoices and other commercial-in-confidence

material may be required. Additional costs can be incurred if cases are subsequently contested in the

Administrative Appeals Tribunal and it becomes necessary to seek to maintain confidentiality of costing

information.

The use of a single test will align the TCS with Australia’s anti-dumping legislation, which requires

Australian manufacturers to meet only one test – that they can demonstrate a substantial process of

manufacture occurs in Australia.

Legislative change proposed

Paragraph 269D(1)(b) of the Customs Act 1901 requires that in order for goods to be regarded as “produced in

Australia” the sum of the value of Australian labour, Australian materials and factory overhead costs must not

be less than 25% of the factory costs of the goods.

It is proposed that this paragraph be removed from section 269D. This will simplify the objection/revocation

process while retaining the core requirement that an Australian manufacturer must undertake a substantial

process of manufacture in Australia. Consequential amendments to delete subsections 269D(4) and (5) would

also be required.

Making a submission

Australian Customs and Border Protection Service is inviting stakeholder comment on a proposal to amend

legislation in Part XVA of the Customs Act 1901. The proposal has been developed as part of the

Government’s deregulation agenda.

Feedback will be taken into account in the development of final proposals to the government.

Closing date for submissions is 5 November 2014.

Submissions should be addressed to [email protected] or to:

Director, Industry Assistance

Trade and Customs Division
