This replaces an older version (Form No. 15TCH from July 2003) which is now cancelled.\n\n**Why it matters:** It ensures Chinese-speaking travellers have an official, legally recognised form in their language to declare their personal effects to Customs, helping them comply with import requirements without language barriers."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-14-of-2005","history":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-14-of-2005/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-14-of-2005/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-14-of-2005/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-14-of-2005/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-14-of-2005/documents"}}
