Without this approved form, passengers would have to complete their declarations in English."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-14-of-2010","history":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-14-of-2010/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-14-of-2010/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-14-of-2010/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-14-of-2010/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-14-of-2010/documents"}}
