This order gives a tax break (tariff concession) on a very specific type of imported car seat cover.
What it does:
- Allows "stretch jersey, jacquard" car seat covers with polyester backing to enter Australia at a reduced import duty rate (or duty-free).
- The goods must be classified under customs tariff code 6304.93.00.
- The concession applies under Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995.
Who it affects:
- Importers bringing these specific car seat covers into Australia
- Customs brokers handling clearance of these goods
- Local manufacturers of car seat covers (who compete with these imports)
Why it matters:
Tariff concessions reduce the cost of importing specific goods, making them cheaper for Australian businesses and consumers to buy. This particular concession helps keep costs down for car seat covers made of stretchy jacquard fabric with polyester backing.
