Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument approves a Greek-language version of the incoming passenger card that travelers must complete when arriving in Australia.

Key points:

What: Form No. 15 GRE allows passengers to declare their personal belongings and household effects in Greek rather than English
Who: Greek-speaking passengers arriving by ship or aircraft, and Customs officers processing them
Why: Removes language barriers for Greek-speaking travelers while ensuring they still meet the legal requirement (under section 71AAB of the Customs Act) to declare goods they are bringing into the country

Essentially, this is an administrative approval saying "the attached Greek form is legally valid for customs declarations."
