This Order allows sleeping bag liners to be imported into Australia duty-free (or at a reduced customs duty rate).
What it covers
- Goods: Liners for sleeping bags, falling under customs tariff classification 6306.99.00
- Benefit: These goods are eligible for Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995, which grants a concession from the standard import duty
When it applies
- Started: 19 January 2009
- Duration: Continues indefinitely until formally revoked (there is no automatic expiry date)
Why it matters
Tariff Concession Orders are granted when no Australian manufacturer produces equivalent goods locally. This reduces import costs for retailers and, ultimately, consumers buying sleeping bag liners.
