Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2018-09-19.
This bill would change the Customs Tariff Act 1995 to put the Peru-Australia Free Trade Agreement into effect.
It would set lower customs duty rates for goods from Peru that meet new origin rules, and add a new schedule for excise-equivalent rates on alcohol, tobacco, fuel and petroleum products.
The 2018-19 Budget estimated the cost to revenue over the forward estimates would be negligible, rounded to zero.
