Review of Australia's general tariff arrrangements

Productivity Commission

International Trade from EconWPA

Abstract: In 1999, the Commonwealth Government referred the scope for a post-2000 reduction in the general tariff to the Productivity Commission for inquiry and report within nine months. The general tariff covers only rates of 5 per cent or less, and excludes the PMV and TCF sectors. On balance, the Commission saw advantages in the removal of the general tariffs under review and associated concessional arrangements.
