Tariff Concession (TC) Application – Fillable B443 Form

What Is a Tariff Concession (TC)?

A Tariff Concession (TC) – also known as a Tariff Concession Order (TCO) – is an Australian Government revenue concession that allows importers to pay reduced customs duties when no local manufacturers can supply a substitutable product. The concession is granted only when the imported goods match the description and tariff classification of an existing TCO.
