This order gives reduced import duties (or potentially duty-free entry) to a specific type of car seat cover brought into Australia.
What goods are covered:
- Car seat covers made of suede velour with bonded foam polyester backing
- Classified under customs tariff code 6304.92.00
Who it affects:
- Importers of these specific car seat covers
- Australian businesses that import these goods for resale or manufacturing
Why it matters:
Normally, imported goods attract customs duty calculated as a percentage of their value. This order grants a tariff concession (an exemption or reduction) under Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995. This means these specific covers cost less to import than they would at standard duty rates, lowering business costs.
How long it lasts:
The concession took effect on 4 April 2007 and remains in force indefinitely until formally revoked.
