The Australian Government has approved an extension of the SPARTECA (TCF Provisions) Scheme to 31 December 2014.  The Scheme is administered through item 68 in Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995.  Australian Customs and Border Protection has arranged for the publication of a Notice in the Commonwealth Gazette to give effect to the extension.  This action will allow the Scheme to continue without interruption from 1 January 2012.

Australian Customs Notice 2011/65 refers.  A revised Customs Tariff Working Page will be published in early 2012 to reflect this change.
