It lowers import costs for shipping, logistics and mining firms and importers, while increasing competition for domestic trailer makers. Effective 16 June 2008 and continuing until revoked, it aims to make scarce or non‑locally produced heavy trailers more affordable."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"Unauthenticated.

It takes effect from 16 June 2008 and remains in force until revoked under the Customs Act.
