TARIFF REGISTRATIONS

The ICN is actively involved in the Tariff Concession and Enchanced Project By-Law systems.

For more information on the application of TCO's and EPBS goto www.customs.gov.au or www.ausindustry.gov.au

TARIFF CONCESSION SYSTEM:

Australian Customs Notice No. 97/38 promulgates the Industry Capability Network(ICN) Network as a prescribed organisation for the purpose of undertaking research into possible substitutable goods production in Australia.

Those considering a TCO application may discharge the onus of undertaking the research into possible substitutable goods production in Australia by obtaining advice from the ICN, on a fee for service basis.

Should you require this research for your TCO application please complete the following form and submit it to the ICN. Any further specifications relating the item may be submitted via e-mail to: info@icnvic.org.au

ENCHANCED PROJECT BY-LAW SCHEME:

Australian Customs Notice No 98/22 sets out the policy and administrative criteria to be applied when processing requests for duty concession on certain items of imported capital equipment.

For projects that exceed $10 million for each significant phase an applicant must demonstrate that the capital equipment to be imported is not produced in Australia in the ordinary course of business. This can be demonstrated by:

o identifying a Tariff Concession Order for the equipment which is in force when the goods request is lodged: or
o providing a statement from the Industry Capability Networkstating that it is not aware of an Australian manufacturer producing or capable of producing the equipment or an equivalent good for the applicant's project.

Should you require ICN assistance for Enchanced Project By-Law research please complete the following form and submit. Further information relating to the project or item specifications can be e-mailed to: info@icnvic.org.au

ICN CHARGES :

Where no opportunity for Australian industry exists, ICN's services will be on a "Fee For Service" basis.
