However, they're only granted when no Australian manufacturer makes a \"substitutable good\" (a locally made equivalent). This particular concession took effect on 23 February 2005 and remains in force until revoked or replaced."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"A positive credit balance is required for all requests, including BYOK, so fallback providers remain available.
