Phased customs duty changes on electronic imports introduce staged rates for components and finished devices to incentivise local manufacture.

Proposed amendments establish phased basic customs duty schedules under the Phased Manufacturing Program for wrist wearable devices, hearable devices, and smart meters, specifying year-by-year duty rates for identified components, sub-assemblies and finished units. IGCR conditions apply to enumerated component entries. The schedules distinguish classification-based parts and ''any chapter'' inputs, generally providing lower or nil duties initially for parts to encourage local assembly while setting distinct trajectories for imported finished products and assemblies.
