I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The Recycling and Waste Reduction Charges (Customs) Bill 2020 is the second of three bills being introduced to form the waste export ban charging legislative package.

The Recycling and Waste Reduction Charges (Customs) Bill 2020 will impose charges only when they are considered a duty of customs. The key provisions of the bill mirror those in the Recycling and Waste Reduction Charges (General) Bill 2020 and have the same operative function and effect.

The bill does not itself set the amount of the charges and will not impose any financial impacts. The amounts recovered by the charges, and the persons liable or exempt from paying them, will be set in regulations made under this bill.

Debate adjourned.
