This revocation removes that exemption.\n\n**Why it matters:** From **11 August 2009**, anyone importing these polylactide shopping bags must pay the standard import tariffs (taxes) that apply to that type of goods. The environmental benefit of the bags no longer qualifies them for a customs duty concession."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-3-2010","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-3-2010/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-3-2010/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-3-2010/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-3-2010/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-3-2010/documents"}}
