By changing the classification from **5603.14.00** to **6307.90.40**, this order moves the fabric from a category for \"nonwovens\" to a category for \"other made-up textile articles.\"\n\nThis matters for:\n- **Importers** of this fabric, who need to use the correct code when declaring goods to customs\n- **Customs brokers** who handle the paperwork\n- **The Australian Border Force**, which enforces the correct duty rates\n\nThe change took effect on **17 May 2005**."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The instrument does not broaden the original subject matter; it keeps the identical product description and merely reassigns the product to a different tariff classification.
