Tariff Concession Orders

ICN is recognised by the Australian Customs Services as a ‘prescribed organisation’ under the Customs Act, meaning it can determine whether ‘substitutable goods’ subject to a Tariff Concession are manufactured in Australia.

If you require information on possible substitutable goods production in Australia please contact ICN.

Enhanced Project By-Law Scheme (EPBS)

ICN can verify if ‘equivalent goods’, subject to an Enhanced Project By-Law scheme (EPBS) application, are manufactured in Australia.

Applicants applying for duty concession for projects that exceed $10M for each significant phase must demonstrate that the capital equipment to be imported is not produced in Australia. This can be demonstrated by providing a Tariff Concession Order for the equipment, or a statement from ICN stating that it is not aware of an Australian manufacturer producing, or capable of producing, the equipment required for the applicant’s project.

Should you require assistance with Enhanced Project By-Law research please contact ICN.

Fees and Charges:

For ICN to conduct research into Australian manufacturers of substitutable goods for your Tariff Concession Order or Enhanced Project By-Law application, please complete all sections of the 'Request for Quotation' form. A request for quotation is required for each TCO application.
