This order grants a tariff concession (reduced or zero customs duty) for thermal, hooded sleeping bag liners when imported into Australia.
What it does:
Allows these specific goods (customs classification 6306.99.00) to enter Australia under concession item 50 of the Customs Tariff Act 1995, effectively eliminating import duty on them.
Who it affects:
- Importers and retailers of camping equipment who bring these liners into Australia
- Consumers who may benefit from lower prices on thermal sleeping bag liners
Why it matters:
Without this order, these goods would attract standard customs duties. By classifying them under a concession item, the order reduces business costs and retail prices for outdoor gear, supporting the camping and outdoor recreation sector.
