CHANGES IN FORTHCOMING ISSUES


Changes to Customs Tariff import classification

As a result of the import classification feasibility study into the creation of specific Combined Australian Customs Tariff Nomenclature and Statistical Classification (Customs Tariff), new statistical codes under subheadings 7227.90.90, 7228.70.00, 7308.90.00, 7312.10.00 and 7312.90.00 have been introduced. The Customs Tariff publication will be updated in due course.

The closing of the old codes will occur on 31 December 2014 and the opening of the new codes will occur on 1 January 2015. The final changes are shown in the table below:
