This approval ensures non-English speakers can comply with customs requirements by providing information about their accompanied personal effects in their native language."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-10-of-2009","history":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-10-of-2009/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-10-of-2009/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-10-of-2009/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-10-of-2009/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-10-of-2009/documents"}}
