It matters because it avoids standard duty while ensuring the film is used solely for those technical uses; the concession applies only while the security remains in place and covers specified tariff codes (3702.32.90, 3702.39.90, 3702.44.90, 3702.93.00)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-0618807","history":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-0618807/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-0618807/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-0618807/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-0618807/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-0618807/documents"}}
