What is the Ruling on Classifying ATV Tyres?

 The tyres fitted on a new Quad only attract a total of $8.00 + gst (on sale of the Quad) for all 4 tyres combined. This is leading people to believe that the tariff on loose tyres should only be $2.00 each. However, applying the Customs Tariff Code for loose ATV Tyres attracts a fee of $13.30 + gst each. Becuse of this inconsistency, Customs were asked to provide a ruling on the correct tariff to be used for loose tyres.  Click here to read that ruling.
