The Certain Imports To Manufacture (CIM) Program aims to improve the competitiveness of Australian industry by providing import duty concessions on certain imported raw materials and intermediate goods such as chemicals, plastics or paper goods.

In addition, CIM covers metal materials and goods which are used for the packaging of food.

Applications for the concessions are primarily assessed on the basis of an independent technical assessment which demonstrates that the imported goods are substantially and demonstratively superior in certain respects to comparable goods produced in Australia with specific end products.

Applications should also provide advice from the industry capability network which identifies at least one Australian manufacturer of comparable goods.
