Only bags matching very specific specs — side-sewn handles, polyester stitching, rectangular base, and strict width/height limits — qualify.\n\nIt affects importers of those exact bags and competing Australian bag makers; it lowers costs for recycled-material imports but tightly limits which products can benefit.
