Tariff Changes
( Statement by the Prime Minister
and Minister for Trade and Industry
Mr. J. McEwen)
The Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and
Industry, Mr. J. McEwen, today announced a number of
tariff changes which would operate iiarediately.
Mr. McEwen said that the changes would add to
the tariff preferences which Australia accorded to certain
manufactured, semi-manufactured and handicraft products
imported from less-developed countries. They would also
provide, he said, for amendments to special rates for
Canada and New Zealand which were consequential to the
Kennedy Round tariff changes which he introduced into
the House of Representatives on 19th October.
Mr. McEwen said that details of the tariff changes
had been published in the Commonwealth Gazette and were
also available from Collectors of Customs in all State
capitals and from the Departments of Trade and Industry
and Customs and Excise in Canberra.
