(1) AUSQ002: Australia's unmanufactured
tobacco tariff quota has not been implemented since 1 January 1995. The customs
duty rate for all imported goods classified to HS Heading 2401 is set at
zero. The Australian Border Force does collect the excise equivalent duty on
imports of unmanufactured tobacco at the border to ensure consistency in
treatment for both imported and domestic goods in the Australian market. Please
refer to Australian Customs Notices (https://www.abf.gov.au/help-and-support/notices/australian-customs-notices) for
the latest excise equivalent duties.
