In this case, it makes imported cotton shopping bags cheaper by reducing the import duty that would normally apply. This helps businesses that rely on these bags (like retailers) but may disadvantage local manufacturers of similar bags.\n\n**Key details:**\n- **Effective from:** 16 September 2005\n- **Duration:** Continues indefinitely until revoked or a specific end date is set\n- **Issued by:** Michael Perry, acting on behalf of the Australian Border Force (then Customs) CEO"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0512263","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0512263/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0512263/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0512263/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0512263/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0512263/documents"}}
