Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This document creates a tariff concession (a reduction or elimination of import tax) for specific kitchen scouring pads imported into Australia.

What it covers:

Scouring pads that meet ALL of these criteria:
- Made of at least 70% nonwoven nylon
- The rest made of polyester (no other materials)
- Classified under customs code 6307.10.30 (textile cleaning articles)

What this means: Businesses importing these specific scouring pads can use Schedule 4, Item 50 of the Customs Tariff Act. This typically means the pads enter Australia duty-free or at a reduced tax rate compared to standard imports.

Why it matters: This lowers costs for importers of these specific nylon-heavy scouring pads, while ensuring only products meeting the exact material mix (mostly nylon, not plastic or other fibres) receive the tax break. The concession took effect on 21 January 2009 and remains active unless revoked.
