Mechanically, that means importers of those specified goods may receive the tariff concession set out by that Schedule; the declaration is made under s269P of the Customs Act 1901 and can be revoked under ss269SC or 269SD, so qualifying requires the goods to match the Order’s description."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0826498","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0826498/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0826498/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0826498/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0826498/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0826498/documents"}}
