Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document approves a Japanese-language version of Australia's incoming passenger card (Form No. 15 JAP). What it does: It allows Japanese-speaking passengers arriving in Australia by ship or aircraft to fill out their customs declaration in Japanese rather than English. Who it affects: Passengers bringing personal or household items into Australia who read Japanese. Why it matters: Under Australian law, passengers must declare goods they bring into the country. This approval ensures non-English speakers can comply with customs requirements by providing information about their accompanied personal effects in their native language.
