The order makes them **duty-free**, reducing costs for Australian industries that rely on this specialised equipment. These valves are critical safety components in blast furnaces — they release excess gas pressure to prevent explosions.\n\n**How it works:**\nThe order links the physical goods (Column 1) to a specific tariff item number (Column 2: 8481.80.90) in Australia's customs laws. It took effect on **7 February 2005** and stays in force until someone revokes it or it expires."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"Unauthenticated.
