This removes a cost advantage for imported versions of these materials.\n\n**Why it matters:** Tariff concessions are usually revoked when Australian manufacturers demonstrate they can produce equivalent goods locally, effectively restoring import duties to protect domestic industry from cheaper overseas competition."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-79-2008","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-79-2008/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-79-2008/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-79-2008/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-79-2008/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-revocation-order-79-2008/documents"}}
