Just wondered if anyone else LOVED Marmite as much as we do?? Going to put in container a couple of cases of Marmite to keep us going!! Just wondered if anyone had done this before and if so if they had any problems??

>Trigger<

Never done it..but is it worth the risk

toon williams

What risk??? You have to declare all food items as I understand, but it is a Yeast Product, not on any of the restricted foods, and ALL the pots will be sealed?? So what is the RISK???

And YES it is worth it!!!

elmtree

Yes. It IS worth the risk. The Aussie alternative is Vegemite, which is cack.

The customs WILL open your container which will delay your stuff and who knows it may cause other unknown drama's...trust me in 8-10 weeks time you will be gagging for your belonging's which may be delayed all for a poxy case of marmite...of its worth it then take it...but why ask the question in the first place?

jad n rich

They sell it here anyway.

toon williams

Did you not read the post properly??

I asked if anyone else had shipped marmite before and if they had, did they come across any problems??

Obviously you havn't done it so how can you answer the thread???????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????

toon williams

Yes I know but it is VERY expensive!!!

>Trigger<

toon williams

Ithink it s a very sensible question , one i was going to ask myself!!

toon williams

MARMITE RULES!!!

We all like Marmite in our house, in fact my son used to eat it with a spoon but I do think there are far more important things to put in the container and we can certainly live without it

Pollyana

Customs/AQIS will open your container anyway, possession of Marmite won't delay it at all.
Possession of Marmite is perfectly legal - make sure the jars are sealed, make sure you declare it.
The only problem I could forsee would be them asking if it was for "personal use" or for resale - if you imported a large amount they might feel it was a profit making exercise, but if its obviously part of a consignment of household stuff I can't really see a problem with just a couple of cases

For a definitive answer, email AQIS, but I think you'd be fine

(personally I prefer Vegemite, but i can see exactly why you you are asking, there are things I feel like this about!)
