While these cards are usually in English, this approval creates an official Indonesian-language version, making compliance easier for Indonesian speakers. It operates under section 71AAAB of the *Customs Act 1901*, which deals with information requirements for accompanied personal goods."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-8-of-2009","history":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-8-of-2009/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-8-of-2009/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-8-of-2009/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-8-of-2009/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-8-of-2009/documents"}}
