With the concession, they pay less (or nothing), making it cheaper to import this specific product. This helps Australian businesses that rely on imported cork remain competitive.\n\n**Key details:**\n- **Effective date:** 24 February 2005\n- **Made by:** Rod Wise, acting as a delegate of the Australian Customs Service CEO\n- **Duration:** Continues indefinitely until revoked or replaced"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0502568","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0502568/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0502568/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0502568/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0502568/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0502568/documents"}}
