What this does
This order grants a tariff concession (duty-free or reduced-duty entry) for a specific type of polyester yarn imported into Australia.
The goods covered
The concession applies to:
- Polyester yarn that is continuous, multi-filament, and untextured
- With a thickness not greater than 500 decitex (a unit measuring yarn fineness)
- Classified under customs tariff code 5402.43.00
Why this matters
These orders are granted when no Australian manufacturer produces equivalent "substitutable goods." This allows businesses to import this specific yarn without paying standard import duties, reducing costs for local manufacturers who rely on this material.
Duration
The concession remains in force until it is formally revoked under the Customs Act.
