This Order reduces import duties (taxes) on polyethylene plastic film when imported in rolls at least 1 metre wide.
What it does:
- Allows businesses to import this specific industrial plastic under a lower customs duty rate (a "tariff concession")
- Covers goods falling under tariff classification 3920.10.00
- Operates under Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995
Who it affects:
- Importers of plastic film used for packaging, construction, or manufacturing
- Customs brokers clearing these goods through the border
Why it matters:
Without this concession, importers would pay standard duty rates. This lowers input costs for Australian businesses that rely on this imported material to remain competitive.
