The regulation sets identical rates regardless of whether the dairy produce falls under paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of those sections (which typically distinguish between different stages of sale, such as manufacturing versus exporting)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-levy-amounts-of-levy-regulations","history":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-levy-amounts-of-levy-regulations/history","analysis":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-levy-amounts-of-levy-regulations/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-levy-amounts-of-levy-regulations/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-levy-amounts-of-levy-regulations/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/dairy-produce-levy-amounts-of-levy-regulations/documents"}}
