CHANGES IN FORTHCOMING ISSUES
The Customs Tariff classifications will be revised with new codes coming into effect on 1 January 2014. The changes result from the introduction of new statistical codes separately identifying pharmaceuticals in Chapter 30, carpet underlay in Chapters 39 and 40, and carpet in Chapter 57. The changes will not impact directly on the presentation of statistics in this publication but will impact on detailed import statistics available on request.
Revised pages for the Customs Tariff will be re-issued shortly by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service. For further information contact the Classification Manager on (02) 6252 5409 or e-mail <international.trade@abs.gov.au>.
