The concession reduces costs for rail infrastructure projects, presumably because these specific parts aren't made in Australia (or aren't available in sufficient quantity/quality), so there's no local industry to protect by charging import taxes.\n\n**Key details:**\n- **Effective date:** 20 January 2005\n- **Covers:** 8 specific types of train track parts (from transformer interfaces to multimeters)\n- **Tariff classification:** 8608.00.00 (parts of railway/tramway locomotives and rolling stock)\n- **Duration:** Until revoked or a specified end date (none listed here)"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0501085","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0501085/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0501085/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0501085/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0501085/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0501085/documents"}}
