Chinese bringing food into Australia

[d000hg]

Weird thing is, one need to declare even the fruit given to them during the flight that they have carried with them. It's quite easy to forget. Pure non-sense by the customs especially in Australia.

They're not giving you fruit on the plane to bring into the country, you're supposed to eat it.

They have good reason to be strict in NZ and Aus - big agriculture industry, and remote enough to stand a chance of keeping nasties out, which can wreak havoc if introduced. I had my muddy walking boots taken away and washed once on entry to Australia after a suitcase inspection.

We know that but people (myself included) don't always eat everything put in front of them and may chuck it in their bag to eat later.

I declared my dirty boots. They didn't care. But it was faster going through that queue than standard customs.

"Are you going to eat that?"
"No but it's free, I'm taking it"

You obviously missed the episodes when they make people clean their hiking and rugby boots.

"Are you going to eat that?"
"No but I paid for it when I bought the ticket, I'm taking it"
