This keeps Australian businesses competitive by reducing their input costs. The order took effect on **11 April 2006** and remains in force until revoked or a specified end date is reached."},"summary":{"content_quality":"ok","complexity_score":1,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Applies only to vibratory screens under tariff classification 8474.10.00; does not alter any other legal rights or obligations."},"complexity_factors":["Tariff concession order for a single product","No legislative amendments or broader regulatory changes","Operates purely as a duty benefit for eligible importers"],"plain_english_summary":"This Order grants a customs duty concession for vibratory screens classed under tariff subheading 8474.10.00, allowing eligible importers to obtain a reduced or zero rate of duty where the imported screens match the precise description and no substitutable Australian-made goods exist.
