I move:

The proposal described as Customs Tariff Proposal (No. 1) 2017 in the terms to be printed proposal, which is now being circulated to honourable members.

The customs tariff proposal I have just tabled amends the customs duty rate applied to tariff subheading 6907.30.10. This tariff subheading was created by the Customs Tariff Amendment (2017 Harmonized System Changes) Act 2016 to cover certain types of mosaic tiles. That act mistakenly applied a customs duty rate of five per cent to this subheading when it should have had a customs duty rate of three per cent. The amendment contained in this proposal will ensure that the correct rate of customs duty is applied to goods imported under this tariff subheading.

Debate adjourned.
