CHANGES IN FORTHCOMING ISSUES
CHANGES TO THE AHECC
Statistical codes in the Australian Harmonized Export Commodity Classification (AHECC) - Electronic Publication, Jan 2012 (cat. no. 1233.0) have been revised with new codes that came into effect on 1 January 2015. The changes result from the introduction of new statistical codes in Chapter 28 regarding radioactive elements and isotopes and how they relate to the Customs (Prohibited Exports) Regulations 1958. The changes do not impact directly on the presentation of statistics in ABS publications but will impact on detailed export statistics available on request.
The Australian Harmonized Export Commodity Classification (AHECC) - Electronic Publication, Jan 2012 (cat. no. 1233.0) was updated on the ABS website on 20 November 2014. For further information contact the Classification Manager on Canberra (02) 6252 5409 or email international.trade@abs.gov.au.
The following table shows the code that closed on 31 December 2014 and the replacement codes that opened on 1 January 2015.
 | Closed 31/12/2014 | Replaced by: |

| 28444000 | 28444010 and 28444090 |

CHANGES TO CUSTOMS TARIFF IMPORT CLASSIFICATION
As a result of the import classification feasibility study into the creation of specific Combined Australian Customs Tariff Nomenclature and Statistical Classification (Customs Tariff), new statistical codes under subheadings 7227.90.90, 7228.70.00, 7308.90.00, 7312.10.00 and 7312.90.00 have been introduced. The full Customs Tariff is available on the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service website, www.customs.gov.au.
The closing of the old codes occurred on 31 December 2014 and the opening of the new codes occurred on 1 January 2015. The final changes are shown in the table below:
