Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This order cancels a special import tax break (called a tariff concession) that previously allowed certain synthetic fabrics to enter Australia at reduced customs duty rates.

What goods are affected? Warp knit fabrics made from poly-butylenterephthalate (PBT) and polyester that meet all of the following specifications:

Weight between 150–200 grams per square metre
Width between 140–220 centimetres
Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of 50+ (sun-protective fabrics)

Who is affected? Businesses importing these technical fabrics—commonly used for sun-protective clothing, sportswear, or outdoor textiles. These importers must now pay standard import duties instead of the previous concessional rate.

When does this take effect? The revocation applies from 13 July 2010, meaning the tax break stopped on that date even though this order was signed on 2 September 2010.
