However, they can be controversial if local manufacturers argue they are being undercut by subsidised imports.\n- This particular concession took effect on **22 September 2011** and remains in force until revoked or replaced.\n\n**Key terms explained:**\n- **Delegate of the Chief Executive Officer:** An authorised official acting on behalf of the head of the Australian Border Force (or its predecessor agency) who has the power to make these decisions.\n- **Schedule 4 Item 50:** A reference to the specific part of Australia's customs tariff law that allows these duty-free imports."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-1132493","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-1132493/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-1132493/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-1132493/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-1132493/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-1132493/documents"}}
