What this does: This order gives importers a tax break (tariff concession) on specific bed linen brought into Australia. It allows certain sheets, pillowcases, and quilt covers to be imported with reduced or zero customs duty under Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995.
Who it affects: Businesses importing bed linen classified under customs tariff code 6302.29.00—specifically:
- Sheets
- Pillow cases
- Quilt covers
- Doona or duvet covers
Why it matters: It lowers the cost of importing these household textile items. The concession took effect on 31 August 2005 and remains valid until revoked or replaced.
