The Governor-General issues proclamations like this to set the start date, giving businesses (importers, exporters, customs brokers) and government agencies time to prepare for new border control procedures, documentation requirements, or cargo reporting systems. This proclamation advances the \"International Trade Modernisation\" reforms, which generally streamline how goods enter and leave Australia."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/customs-legislation-amendment-and-repeal-international-trade-modernisation-act-2001-proclamation-05-","history":"/api/acts/customs-legislation-amendment-and-repeal-international-trade-modernisation-act-2001-proclamation-05-/history","analysis":"/api/acts/customs-legislation-amendment-and-repeal-international-trade-modernisation-act-2001-proclamation-05-/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/customs-legislation-amendment-and-repeal-international-trade-modernisation-act-2001-proclamation-05-/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/customs-legislation-amendment-and-repeal-international-trade-modernisation-act-2001-proclamation-05-/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/customs-legislation-amendment-and-repeal-international-trade-modernisation-act-2001-proclamation-05-/documents"}}
