It ensures the trade agreement actually has legal effect at the border."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1244018","history":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1244018/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1244018/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1244018/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1244018/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-by-law-no-1244018/documents"}}
