This approval ensures that Japanese speakers can read and complete their customs declarations in Japanese rather than English, making the process more accessible. The form is used to collect information required under section 71AAAB of the Customs Act about personal or household effects (baggage and items for personal use, not commercial goods)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-9-of-2010-2012","history":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-9-of-2010-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-9-of-2010-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-9-of-2010-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-9-of-2010-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-act-1901-ceo-instrument-of-approval-no-9-of-2010-2012/documents"}}
