Every country has certain rules and
regulation to protect their own. The most serious penalty is death
punishment for trafficking drugs. Bringing in meat, plants and any
product from the wild might cause a huge impact by bringing down the
whole NZ's economy. The person who carry those is risking of increase
in unemployment rate (the agri and horti industries are ruined)
- You have to be very clear and understand what is in your own luggage/bags/hoodie (those things that go into the scanner), and they expect you pack your own bag, you have no reason you “don't know”. You will be responsible on everything you carry.
- Read your declaration card carefully ! That card is a lawful document! There is a statement of “if you are unsure please tick yes”. Usually and especially when we travel for a long-term stay there, we bring lots of food to ensure us not to starve such as; curry powder, soup powder, Bak-Kut-Teh packet, Chicken rice packet, instant Milo packet, instant noodle. It is legal to bring in if it is commercially packed produced or vacuum sealed, however you MUST declare. If not, you will get a fine (might be calculated by the amount of undeclared items)
If you do not understand a
single word on it (English), full search is required.
Don't ask if a pet
cockroach get into your luggage unintentionally.
Something alive
definitely NOT ALLOWED!
Below is a link that shows full Q&A
of detailed and useful information for travellers who consider
bringing in anything crossing the border line. It is also including
Information about exporting and importing of goods/items. Probably
something similar to MITI service in Malaysia, about of HS Codes or
full range listed goods.
Drugs (No No) ….
If there are sniffer dogs sniffing
around you, do not attempt to be overwhelmed
“Oh, you are so cute!” “Sit Sit!
Hand” , You will be ended with a HUGE Trouble!
Once the dog walking around and
sniffing, they will sit and bark if they found something “strange”
on you or your luggages/ bags.
So? will you still try to pat a drug
dog in the custom's border? Unless, you got lots of time to waste
for?
Just ignore them, they are doing their
job. Poor them, everyday sniff drugs ….
Dogs – smell meat,
food, drugs ….
Medicine ! Must Declare !
Video that I found today is something
really interesting about to tell of the “Tiger Balm” (chinese
traditional ointment) that it is actually illegal to bring in. As
same to “Pei Par Kou” (contains honey thou)
There are 2 Saudis brought POP-POP into
NZ boarded on plane (Officers' sleeping? )!
Border patrol is one of my favourite tv
shows, I watch the shows of NZ, Australia, Canada and British....
Thailand also has this kind of Tv Show. It is educational yet
entertaining. (Passengers are funny)
It is just a show to SHOW/PROOF to the
tax-payer! Government sector actually hard-working on their job!
ok... There is where your taxes go into …
