When imports of a particular good surge so high they threaten to seriously damage local producers, the government can impose extra tariffs. This notice is the official declaration that says \"imports are too high\" and activates those protective tariffs for canned pineapples."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-tariff-safeguard-goods-notice-no-1-2008","history":"/api/acts/customs-tariff-safeguard-goods-notice-no-1-2008/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-tariff-safeguard-goods-notice-no-1-2008/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-tariff-safeguard-goods-notice-no-1-2008/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-tariff-safeguard-goods-notice-no-1-2008/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-tariff-safeguard-goods-notice-no-1-2008/documents"}}
