Importing Food into Australia
Following a question on another thread.....
A government web site on "Mail Ordering Goods Into Australia"
http://www.affa.gov.au/content/outpu...200060A1B00576
extract "Last year, over 180 million mail articles were sent into Australia. Over 60 000 of those were seized by AQIS because they contained items of high quarantine risk to Australia. Mail order items constitute a significant portion of these seizures"
Here is a list of some food that you can bring in: (but look at the BANNED listing on the linked page)
Goods that must be declared
These items must be declared and inspected for signs of insects or disease. Some items may require treatment before being allowed in.
* Cooked and raw food and ingredients
* Dried fruit and vegetables
* Fish and other seafood products
* Noodles and rice
* Packaged meals including airline food
* Herbs and spices
* Herbal and traditional medicines, remedies, tonics and herbal teas
* Snack foods
* Biscuits, cakes and confectionery
* Tea, coffee and other milk-based beverages
