Taking Cambridge on Holiday

[Kath]

I'm off to Australia next week and wanted to take my packs with me, does anyone know if it's ok to take them in my case? Or how would I find out?

You could try e-mailing the airline, i did when hubby had to go to the states and they emailed me back with a link which gave me a rough description.

I'd say email the airline too. Who knows what restrictions they have on importing packets of stuff. Don't forget the whole not taking liquids in hand luggage thing.

 

[Kath]

Ok thanks everyone, I'd better email then them

You should contact the department in the link below and ask the question of the Australian Customs and Import Authorites:

Food - DAFF

Would be interested in their response as I have a customer who will be travelling to OZ later in the year and will want to take some CD with them too.

Right, I've heard back from AQIS - I had to provide them with a list of ingredients from the packs - this is their response and I have to stay I'm still confused as to whether I can take them or not :

I have checked your below ingredient list. From this information your meal supplements are permitted entry providing:​

1. The supplements are a product of the UK or other country listed as free from foot and mouth disease by the Office International des Epizooties, OR contains less than 10% dairy ingredients.​
2. The supplements are commercially prepared and packaged.​
3. They are labelled with full ingredient list and country of origin or are accompanied by an acceptable manufacturers declaration with this information.​
4. They are non-commercial, i.e for personal use and in quantities of no more than 10 kilograms or 10 litres of the one type of item.​

You will need to declare these items on your incoming passenger card and present them to a Quarantine Officer for inspection on arrival. If the goods comply with the above conditions they will be permiited entry.
