Customs tariff amendments extend concessional feed treatment and explicitly exempt specified semiconductor machines and audio components from BCD.

The amendments confirm that prawn feed and shrimp larvae feed in any form attract a concessional rate of 5%, while fish feed qualifies only in pellet form; propose inclusion of HS 8486 to exempt semiconductor manufacture machines from basic customs duty; add headphones, earphones and combined microphone/speaker sets to tariff subheading 8518 30 00 consistent with ITA commitments; and amend notification No. 57/2017-Customs to explicitly exclude microphones, receivers, speakers, connectors and SIM sockets from a concession entry.
