This Order gives importers a tariff concession (reduced or zero customs duty) on a specific type of cotton yarn brought into Australia.
What’s covered:
- Cotton yarn that is:
- Combed (processed to remove short fibers and smooth the strands)
- Ring spun (made using a particular spinning method)
- Measuring less than 125 decitex (a unit measuring yarn thickness—very fine yarn)
- Classified under tariff code 5206.25.00
Why it matters:
Businesses importing this specific yarn pay lower import duties than the standard rate. This reduces costs for local textile manufacturers or retailers using this material as an input. The concession remains in place until the Order is formally revoked.
