I move:

Customs Tariff Proposal (No. 2) 2025.

Customs Tariff Proposal (No. 2) 2025 proposes to amend section 18A of the Customs Tariff Act 1995 to extend for a further 24 months the additional duty applied to imported goods that are the produce or manufacture of Russia or Belarus. From 25 April 2022, an additional 35 per cent customs duty has applied in addition to the general rate of duty that would have ordinarily applied to these goods. This was due to end on 24 October 2025. The continued extension of the additional duty aligns with measures implemented by like-minded nations. Australia unambiguously condemns Russia's illegal, immoral and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. We support Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity and right to self-determination. Australia will continue to uphold the rules based international order that underpins Australia's security, prosperity and stability.

Debate adjourned.
