Seeks to amend various notifications giving exemption to electronic items and medical devices. - 15/2022 - Customs -Tariff

Customs exemption amendments broaden scope to wrist wearable devices, revise tariff classifications and add sunset limitations.

Amendments to multiple customs exemption notifications adjust scope and tariff coverage by inserting a sunset provision into the 2002 notification, adding wrist wearable devices and substituting photovoltaic-related tariff entries, and adding goods exclusively for use with listed items; they also revise telecommunications conductor descriptions. The 2017 notification excludes parts of mobile phones and wrist wearable devices from an exemption, removes a proviso, and creates a concessional entry for specified transformer/charger components with a sunset limitation. The 2020 notification adds surgical needles used in manufacture of surgical sutures.
