✨ Tariff Concession Withdrawals
2648 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 102
Removal of Unused Concessions
One of the decisions taken by Government following a review of the tariff concessions system in May 1991, was that concessions will be removed if they have not been used to import goods of a Customs value of over $10,000 in a two year period.
The purpose for periodically reviewing the concessions list is to ensure that it is kept to a manageable size by removing those concessions that are no longer required.
Some 1600 concessions have been identified on the Customs computer data base as having been unused over a two year period prior to the introduction of the concession fee. The reasons for non usage appear to be varied; not the least of which the goods have become duty free in Part 1 of the Tariff.
The unused concessions to be removed will appear in this and future editions of the Gazette in the Third Schedule (Concession Approvals Withdrawn) prefixed by RUC – Revocation of Unused Concession.
Most of the concessions can be identified by their tariff item, their reference number and the first and last word of their description. However, because some of the unused concessions on the database are very old, and some no longer appear in the Consolidated List of Approvals, it has not always been possible to trace their descriptions. In respect of these concessions it is only possible to show their tariff item and reference number. It is appreciated that the absence of the description does make recognition of these particular concessions rather a hopeless task. However, they have been included in the list on the off chance that the tariff item and reference number may provide a clue to their identification.
Should it prove necessary to reinstate a concession which has been removed, this will be done immediately, effective from the concession’s original start date.
None of the concessions to be removed include those in respect of which a concession application fee has been paid.
