This effectively raises the cost of importing these machines by removing the duty exemption.\n\n**Why it matters:** The government typically grants tariff concessions when local manufacturers cannot adequately supply a product. This revocation suggests either that local industry can now meet demand, or that the concession was no longer justified for other policy reasons."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-71-2007","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-71-2007/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-71-2007/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-71-2007/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-71-2007/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-71-2007/documents"}}
