This instrument allows travelers to provide required customs information in Spanish instead, making the arrival process more accessible. It gives legal force to the Spanish version of the form for declaring personal goods that travel with you (as opposed to goods shipped separately)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-25-of-2012","history":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-25-of-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-25-of-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-25-of-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-25-of-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-25-of-2012/documents"}}
