I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The Customs Tariff Amendment (Growing Australian Export Opportunities Across the Asia-Pacific) Bill 2019 amends the Customs Tariff Act 1995 to implement Australia's obligations relating to goods under the three recently concluded free trade agreements with Indonesia, Peru and Hong Kong. The amendments contained in this bill complement the amendments to be made to the Customs Act 1901 by the Customs Tariff Amendment (Growing Australian Export Opportunities Across the Asia-Pacific) Bill 2019. I reiterate the comments I made in relation to the introduction of that bill earlier. I commend this bill to the House.

Debate adjourned.
