7 Customs Initiated - Intention to Revoke Inadequate Description and

Local Manufacturer Initiated - TCOs Revoked

Commonwealth of Australia Gazette


Customs Initi ated - Intention to R evoke Inadequate D escription

TARIFF CONCESSION ORDER (TCO) - REVOCATION AT THE INITIATIVE OF CUSTOMS

It is intended to revoke the Tariff Concession Order (TCO) for the goods described in the following TABLE.

The Chief Executive Officer’s (CEO’s) delegate has declared the intention, subject to s.269SD(1AA), to make an

order revoking the TCOs in the table below with effect from 1 June 2015. On 1 June 2015, the CEO’s delegate

formed the belief in respect of the TCO, that if the TCOs were not in force on that day, and applications for

the TCOs were made on that day, the CEO would not have made the TCOs.

The intention to revoke is because the delegate has formed a belief that the wording of the TCO does not

contain a full description of the goods.

Interested parties are invited to provide, by close of business Wednesday 1 July 2015, written reasons why the

TCOs should not be revoked.

Contact: email [email protected], fax 02 6198 7203 or telephone 02 6264 1946.

11 Australian Border Force enabling legislation Commonwealth of Australia Gazette


Australian Border Force enabling l egislati on Australian Border Force enabling legislation This information sheet is for domestic and international partner agencies, private sector partners, clients, industry and the public. It provides information about Australian Border Force (ABF) enabling legislation.

Purpose of legislation Legislation has been passed by the Australian Parliament to establish the Australian Border Force as a single frontline operational border control and enforcement entity of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection charged with enforcing customs and immigration laws and protecting Australia’s borders. The Australian Border Force will commence on 1 July 2015. At this time, the functions of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection and the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service will be formally integrated into a single department (the Department of Immigration and Border Protection) and the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service will cease to exist.

Passage of legislation by Parliament The Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, the Hon. Peter Dutton MP, introduced the ABF enabling legislation to Parliament on 25 February 2015. This legislative package consists of: • the Australian Border Force Bill 2015 [ABF Bill] and

• the Customs and Other Legislation Amendment (Australian Border Force) Bill [ABF Amendment Bill]. The legislation was passed on 14 May 2015.

Overview of legislative changes The Australian Government is committed to enhancing Australia’s border protection arrangements and has announced significant reforms to strengthen them. In May 2014, the Government announced the integration of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection and the Australia Customs and Border Protection Service into a single department and the establishment of the Australian Border Force from 1 July 2015. The passage of the ABF Bill and ABF Amendment Bill by Parliament represents a significant step towards that milestone. The cornerstone of the ABF Bill is the creation of the Australian Border Force (the ABF); an operational border control and enforcement entity within the Department of Immigration and Border Protection charged with enforcing customs and immigration laws and protecting Australia’s borders. The ABF will be led by the Australian Border Force Commissioner, who will be Australia’s most senior border law enforcement officer. The ABF Commissioner will have a dual role as Comptroller-General of Customs with responsibility for enforcement of customs law and collection of border-related revenue. The ABF Commissioner will lead a highly trained and flexibly deployed workforce that is responsible for protecting Australia’s borders through the enforcement of both customs and immigration laws. Critical to the delivery of strong borders is public and partner confidence in the agencies and people charged with protecting them. The ABF Bill introduces new employment, integrity and information protection requirements for Department of Immigration and Border Protection officers including those assigned to the ABF. These requirements are intended to ensure officers exercising the significant powers entrusted to them operate with the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.

12 Australian Border Force enabling legislation Commonwealth of Australia Gazette


How this affects your engagement with us At a day-to-day level, engagement with the Australian Government on customs, immigration and citizenship matters is not expected to be significantly different. All current services and systems will remain in place. You may, however, notice some visual changes: our corporate branding will change, and a new uniform will be introduced from 1 July 2015. There are no material changes to the laws that relate to immigration, citizenship, customs or border protection associated with this reform. The ABF Bill and ABF Amendment Bill are largely administrative and impact the internal administration and organisational arrangements of the integrated Department of Immigration and Border Protection.

Benefits for traders and travellers Travellers, traders and migrants will be able to deal with a single department in relation to customs, immigration and citizenship matters. By strengthening our ability to protect the border and identify and target those people or entities doing the wrong thing, we are also able to better facilitate the large majority of legitimate trade, and support the efficient movement of travellers and migrants that do the right thing across the border.

Further information The Bills are available on the Australian Parliament House website: www.aph.gov.au The Minister’s media release is available on his website: www.minister.immi.gov.au/peterdutton
