This Order grants tariff concession status to specific types of bed linen, allowing importers to bring these goods into Australia at a reduced customs duty rate (or duty-free) compared to the standard tariff.
What goods are covered:
- Sheets
- Pillow cases
- Quilt covers
- Doona or duvet covers
These items fall under customs classification 6302.22.00 and qualify for concession under Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995.
Why this matters:
Without this Order, importers would pay higher customs duties on these bedding items. The concession reduces costs for businesses importing bed linen into Australia.
How long it lasts:
The concession took effect on 31 August 2005 and remains in force until it is formally revoked by the relevant authority.
