This instrument ensures Arabic-speaking travellers can complete their customs declaration in their own language, rather than being forced to use an English-only form. It makes compliance accessible while maintaining the same legal requirement to report accompanied personal effects under the Customs Act."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-4-of-2010","history":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-4-of-2010/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-4-of-2010/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-4-of-2010/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-4-of-2010/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-4-of-2010/documents"}}
