This concession makes it cheaper for Australian food manufacturers to buy this equipment from overseas, potentially encouraging investment in production capacity.\n\n**How long it lasts:**\nThe concession took effect on **23 March 2005** and remains in force indefinitely until someone revokes it or the law changes."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0503563","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0503563/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0503563/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0503563/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0503563/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0503563/documents"}}
