ANZCERTA - changes to Article 3 As foreshadowed in Australian Customs and Border Protection Notice No. 2012/24, Customs and Border Protection advises that the changes to Article 3 of the Australia – New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Trade Agreement (ANZCERTA) have commenced on 30 April 2012.

Reminder – Repeal of ANZCERTA Factory Cost Rules of Origin (P50) Customs and Border Protection would like to remind industry that Preference Rule Type “P50” is no longer available for claiming preferential tariff rates under the Australia – New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Trade Agreement (ANZCERTA), as the ANZCERTA factory cost rules of origin were repealed on 1 January 2012. The repeal does not affect other existing Preference Rule Types under the ANZCERTA. For further information please see Australian Customs Notices 2006/64 and 2011/33. |
