Summary

Introduced with the Customs Tariff Amendment (Australia-United Kingdom Free Trade Agreement Implementation) Bill 2022, to implement Australia's obligations under the Free Trade Agreement between Australia and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the bill amends the

Customs Act 1901
to: implement rules of origin to determine goods eligible for preferential tariff treatment in accordance with the agreement; enable regulations to prescribe certain record keeping obligations on exporters that export goods to the United Kingdom and who make a claim that goods exported are originating goods in accordance with the agreement, and producers of such goods; and enable an authorised officer to disclose certain information.

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.
