It applies specifically to backpacks with outer surfaces made of plastic sheeting or textile materials.\n\n**Who it affects**\n- Importers and customs brokers handling hiking, travel, or military-style backpacks\n- Retailers selling imported large backpacks classified under customs code **4202.92.90**\n\n**Why it matters**\nWithout this order, these backpacks would attract standard import duties. By declaring them eligible for **Item 50 of Schedule 4** to the Customs Tariff Act 1995, the order reduces import costs for businesses and potentially lowers prices for consumers buying large backpacks.\n\n**Key details**\n- **Capacity**: Must be 48 litres or greater\n- **Materials**: Outer surface must be plastic sheeting or textile materials\n- **Legal effect**: Took effect in March 2009 and continues until revoked"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0908498","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0908498/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0908498/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0908498/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0908498/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0908498/documents"}}
