Summary

Introduced with the Customs Tariff Amendment (ASEAN-Australian-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement Implementation) Bill 2009 to give effect to Australia’s obligations under the Agreement Establishing the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Area, the bill amends the

Customs Act 1901
to: provide preferential rates of duty for ASEAN and New Zealand originating goods; and impose certain obligations on Australian exporters and producers of goods who claim preferential tariff treatment.

We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.
