Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2018-09-19.
This bill changes the Customs Act 1901 to bring into force Australia's trade deal with Peru.
It sets out how to decide which goods from Peru qualify for lower customs taxes when entering Australia.
The 2018-19 Budget estimated that implementing the deal would cost revenue a negligible amount over the forward estimates.
- The bill creates rules for determining Peruvian originating goods eligible for preferential customs duty rates.
- It places obligations on exporters of eligible goods to Peru who claim a preferential duty rate, and on those who produce such goods.
- It provides for complementary amendments to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 to give effect to preferential customs duty treatment under the agreement.
Exporters and producers of eligible goods to Peru, importers of Peruvian goods into Australia, and the Department of Home Affairs.
