Mechanically, it changes the tariff treatment that applies to those imported goods from 20 November 2008. Who it affects: importers of these CNG cylinder assemblies, customs officials administering tariffs, and suppliers. It matters because it alters the import tariff outcome (and thus import costs) for that narrowly described product."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0840620","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0840620/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0840620/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0840620/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0840620/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-0840620/documents"}}
