Restricted items
Hi guys
well visa app finally off but owing to delay at Heathrow and bank holiday Monday the agent won't get it now til Tuesday I expect. Ho hum.
ANYWAY, just making ANOTHER list and have a few ?'s I can't find the answer to anywhere else.
Worth taking lawnmower or not? I know there was a post about this but can't find it.
Have an extensive collection of camping equipment which will be going with. However, there are quite a few knives in this collection. You know, 'camping' knives. Anyone have any views on whether or not I'll get any grief over this?
Also, I also have quite a few MRE's (meals ready to eat). You know, British Army rations. Used for backpacking and the like. Will these cause a problem. I've looked at the restricted items for import list at DIMIA but not sure if they count.
TIA
Andy

Still don't know about the other two tho, and being as no-one's talking to me I'm off to down the pub for a Stella or eight.
Does this count as talking to yourself??

Re: Restricted items
We brought all the camping gear apart from the pegs (couldn't be a**ed to clean them off). Lawnmover and stimmer were left there and replaced with the same over here (4 stroke self propelled Honda cutter, and 4 stroke straight shaft Hoda strimmer) for $1800, so actually a bit less than we paid in the UK. In terms of knives, we brought a World War 1 bayonnet, 2 full size dive knives, 2 smaller backup dive knives and had no problems at all - we did declare them on the shipping form.
