Summary
Introduced with the Import Processing Charges Amendment Bill 2005 to restructure the cost recovery regime for import related services, the bill amends the Customs Act 1901 and Import Processing Charges Act 2001 to repeal two cargo reporting charges (the self-assessed clearance declaration charge and the screening charge) relating to low value consignments which will be amalgamated into the restructured electronic import declaration and warehouse declaration processing charges (to be imposed by the Import Processing Charges Amendment Bill 2005).
