These goods are called \"unaccompanied personal effects.\"\n\n**Why it matters:** Normally, customs paperwork must be completed in English. This approval allows travellers to provide the required information about their shipped personal items using an official form written in Traditional Chinese, making the customs clearance process more accessible for Chinese-speaking passengers.\n\n**Legal basis:** Made by the Chief Executive Officer of Customs in August 2005 under the *Customs Act 1901* and *Customs Regulations 1926*."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-41-of-2005","history":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-41-of-2005/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-41-of-2005/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-41-of-2005/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-41-of-2005/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-41-of-2005/documents"}}
