This order cancels a tax break (called a "tariff concession") for importing nylon car mats into Australia.
What it does:
- Revokes "Tariff Concession Order 0608076", which previously allowed these goods to be imported without paying customs duty (import tax)
- Goods classified under customs code 5703.20.00 (nylon car mats) must now have duty paid on them when brought into Australia
Who is affected:
- Importers and wholesalers of nylon car mats
- Retailers and consumers (who may face higher prices due to the new tax)
Key detail:
The change took effect from 5 June 2007, meaning any importations after that date require payment of customs duty under the standard tariff rates.
