What this does: This order removes a customs duty exemption (tariff concession) that previously allowed certain car covers to enter Australia without import duty.
Who it affects: Businesses importing car covers made of nylon or non-woven polypropylene with elasticised rims (falling under customs classification 8708.99.99). These goods were previously covered by Concession Order 0606246.
The impact: From the revocation date, these specific car covers must now pay standard customs duties instead of enjoying the previous duty-free or reduced-rate treatment. This affects the landed cost for importers of automotive accessories.
Key detail: The revocation applies to goods classified under tariff heading 8708.99.99 (motor vehicle parts and accessories) and specifically targets covers constructed from synthetic materials with elastic edges.
