Explanatory note
This note is not part of the order, but is intended to indicate its general effect.
This order brings into force, on 1 January 2010, the Customs and Excise (AANZFTA) Amendment Act 2009.
The Customs and Excise (AANZFTA) Amendment Act 2009 amends the Customs and Excise Act 1996 to implement a free trade agreement, namely the ASEAN–Australia–New Zealand Free Trade Area agreement (the AANZFTA). The amendments create a system for certification bodies that are authorised to issue the necessary certificates of origin for goods exported to AANZFTA party countries.
