This ensures Malay-speaking travellers can declare their goods to Customs in their own language using an officially recognised form, making the customs process accessible to them.\n\n**Key detail:**\nThe form covers \"accompanied personal or household effects\" — essentially luggage and personal items travellers bring with them, rather than goods shipped separately."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-35-of-2005","history":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-35-of-2005/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-35-of-2005/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-35-of-2005/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-35-of-2005/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-35-of-2005/documents"}}
