This allows French-speaking passengers to complete their customs declarations in French rather than English when arriving in Australia.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Passengers arriving by ship or aircraft who speak French\n- Anyone bringing personal belongings or household items (called \"accompanied personal or household effects\") into Australia\n\n**Why it matters:**\nNormally, customs declarations must be in English. This instrument creates a lawful exception by approving an official French-language version, ensuring French-speaking travellers can comply with Australian customs laws and properly declare their goods without language barriers. The form collects information required under the Customs Act about items passengers bring with them."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-7-of-2010","history":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-7-of-2010/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-7-of-2010/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-7-of-2010/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-7-of-2010/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-7-of-2010/documents"}}
