From **27 July 2011** onward, standard tariffs apply, making these imports more expensive.\n\n**Who is affected:** This primarily impacts waste management companies, recycling facilities, and local councils importing waste processing technology. It also benefits domestic manufacturers of similar equipment who no longer face duty-free competition from overseas imports."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-159-2011","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-159-2011/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-159-2011/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-159-2011/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-159-2011/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-159-2011/documents"}}
