This order specifically targets specialised medical equipment, making it cheaper to import portable chiropractic tables with three specific adjustable sections (drops)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0410029","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0410029/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0410029/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0410029/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0410029/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0410029/documents"}}
