Without this concession, they would pay standard customs duties, increasing production costs.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThe concession helps Australian manufacturers remain competitive by reducing the cost of essential chemical inputs that may not be produced locally. It took effect on 11 August 2008 and remains active until revoked."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0825982","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0825982/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0825982/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0825982/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0825982/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0825982/documents"}}
