I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The Road Vehicle Standards Charges (Imposition—Customs) Bill 2018 provides for the imposition of charges for activities and services relating to the regulatory administration of the Road Vehicles Standards Bill 2018.

This bill, together with the Road Vehicle Standards Charges (Imposition—General) Bill 2018 and the Road Vehicle Standards Charges (Imposition—Excise) Bill 2018, will enable cost recovery of the costs associated with regulating the first provision of road vehicles to the Australian market. The bill stipulates that the amount of the charges is not set at a level that recovers more than the Commonwealth's likely costs in administering the road vehicle standards legislation.

Debate adjourned
