Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This Tariff Concession Order allows specific adult incontinence pads to enter Australia without paying customs duty (or at a reduced rate).

What it covers:

Adult incontinence pads that incorporate a specific absorbent material called "citric-acid cross linked cellulose fibre"
Goods classified under customs tariff code 3005.90.90

Who it affects:

Importers bringing these specific medical hygiene products into Australia
Manufacturers and suppliers using this particular fibre technology

Why it matters: The order grants these products concessional treatment under Item 50 of Schedule 4 to the Customs Tariff Act 1995 (typically meaning duty-free entry). This reduces the cost of importing these essential medical supplies, potentially lowering prices for consumers who rely on them.

The order took effect on 17 June 2011 and remains in force until formally revoked.
