What it does: This order gives importers a customs duty break on specific bed linen. It declares that sheets, pillow cases, quilt covers, and doona or duvet covers (classified under tariff code 6302.31.00) qualify for a concessional tariff rate under Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995.
Who it affects: Businesses importing these specific bedding items into Australia.
Why it matters: It reduces the import costs for these goods, making them cheaper to bring into the country than standard tariff rates would allow. The concession took effect on 31 August 2005 and remains active until revoked.
