AUSTRALIAN CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION NOTICE NO. 2010/43

Cheese and Curd Quota Scheme - Allocations for 2010-2011

The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service advises that it has determined 2010-11 allocations under the Cheese and Curd Quota Scheme that it administers on behalf of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. Customs and Border Protection previously published the allocation attached to this notice in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette - Tariff Concessions No. 2010/27 of 7 July 2010.

The calculation of an importer’s quota is based on the actual use of quota by that importer in the 23-month period ending 31 May 2010, as shown in Customs’ records of clearances for home consumption. This calculation excludes any part of the quota that transferred to another importer during the 23-month period or that was unused as at 31 May 2010.

Please note that quotas are allocated for a particular financial year. To use the quota allocated, importers are required to ‘enter for home consumption’ their imported cheese or curd by the end of the financial year to which the allocation relates, that is, by 30 June of that year. Where cheese or curd importations are of Australian origin (returned Australian goods), or a free rate of duty is provided under Schedule 3 of the Customs Tariff Act 1995, preference circumstances, or a Free Trade Agreement, quota is unable to be used.

The cheese or curd is ‘entered for home consumption’ if:

(a) an entry for home consumption for the goods is lodged with Customs, and

(b) the vessel or aircraft carrying the cheese or curd has arrived at the first Australian port or airport at which any cargo is intended to be discharged.

Quota allocations are transferable between importers. A person may apply to transfer quota entitlements by completing a Transfer of Base Quota (Cheese and Curd) form (form B235) available at www.customs.gov.au. The website also contains a Fact Sheet about the Cheese and Curd Quota.
