Pwede. Nasa website ng customs na pwede ang formula milk, basta kasama mo yun baby syempre. Hehehe.

Just knew this info...hindi daw pwede magdala ng milk na made in the philippines dahil yata sa foot and mouth disease...so better yet, find a store that sells imported products...I might be visiting S&R here in our place para naman makabili ng milk kahit isang lata lang for immediate consumption...then ang iba dun na..

Reply to @icebreaker1928:
Ito daw pala is applicable in shipping items to Australia...i am not sure if applicable din ba ito if we carry it personally...ang nag advise sa amin is yung taga BOB (Back Office Boss). Sila yung mag shi-ship ng gamit namin papuntang Perth. Tied up cla with Air21 at FedEx po...

Sharing an actual experience in Melbourne Tullamarine Airport last June - we brought in some dried mango, dried pork and some peanuts.

Hindi ako natakot as I will be declaring everything there - the worst that can happen is that it will be confiscated.

The queue was a bit long, we prolly waited for close to 30 minutes before it was our turn. The lady was very polite and she asked what we had to declare - sabi ko the 3 items I mentioned above. She said the peanuts and dried mango are okey but the dried meat will have to be confiscated as they don't allow such to be imported.

I joked to her to eat it as it is very good (Bakwa from Singapore) - she said they are not allowed to do that and it will be thrown immediately BUT if I want, I can eat it daw as long as I just stayed within the vicinity.

So ayun, if in doubt just declare... The worse that could happen is that your goods will be confiscated but you will never incur a fine.

I carried a piece of bread in my hand carry bag from the airline I took when I went to Melbourne last June but I declared it. The immigration officer asked me what kind of food it was but she didn't bother to take a look of it. When I pass through custom, the officer just asked what food I was declaring, I said it's airline food and he just let me go through the exit line. When I watched Border Security these couple of days ago, I realised I did the right thing of declaring the food even though it was from the airline cuz there were passengers in the program who carried airline food with them without declaring it, then pinag-fine sila.

Hehe ayos yung experience ni @psychoboy...kung ako yan kakainin ko na lang yung dried meat kesa itapon siya hehehe, maki-chika ka na lang sa immigrations officer

Reply to @LokiJr:

Boss, to be honest... I did eat it as mejo nagugutom na rin kami that time!! Ang officer was cool lang. Di namin naubos ang serving though so when we were already full, we just threw it away.

LokiJr

hehe ayus yun, at least hindi nasayang hehe

May napanood akong episode ang payo ng officer kainin ng babae yung bawal na pagkain, aba nagmatigas...ilang oras siyang nakaupo dun (2+ hrs) akala siguro nya magpapasindak yung officer hehe

groovez10

anong cable channel po sa pinas yan pinapalabas? napapanood ko lang po kasi yan dati sa youtube,, thank you

LokiJr

Sa Bio ko po naabutan yan...pero mas mainam sa youtube na lang para tuloy tuloy yung panonood hehe

Bryann

Dumating nga pla ako dito sa Sydney last Sunday, chine check lng tlga nila is food and wood, illegal substance. Hindi na ako dumaan sa customs checking sa exit 8 agad ako sa airport which is straight palabas ng airport. Tinanung ko din if dapat ba declare yun paracetamol, bioflu and decongestants. Sabi nun officer sa pila allowed daw yun although next time declare ko as medicine dun sa papel. Nagdala din ako hard disks, etc na may mga movies. Hindi chineck. Buti hindi ako nag effort na encrypt pa, etc.

icebreaker1928

@Bryann laptop ko sir, galing kay jack sparrow ang os... hindi na rin kaya yun checheck?

LokiJr

@Bryann, mas magiging kahina-hinala lalo kung in-encrypt mo pa hehe..
Congrats by the way at nasa Sydney ka na

Bryann

Thanks guys. Yep, hindi chine-check. Sa nakita ko, sobra malas mo lang talaga if check ang laptop at gadgets mo, althoug tingin ko talaga check-in lang yan kapag suspicious ka talaga or may nakita beforehand na something sayo na hindi tama. Dont worry about it. Ako dala ko pa media player ko may hard disk sa loob, tapos 3 additional hard disk, ipad + laptop. Wala chineck kahit isa.

delski

@Bryann , san mo nilagay ang hard disk? check in mo sya? iyong paracetamol, bio flu mas maganda ideclare talga? isa ba kailangan kailagan imention iyo?

delski

@Bryann kung declare ko mga medicines kailangan ba isa isahin ang mga gamot?

To all,

Para masagot ang problema nyo sa malaking pera na ipapasok nyo ay... sige ibigay nyo sa akin hehehe joke.

Does anybody here heard of wire transfer? 10k dollars is the max per person but who in the right mind would bring such money if bank wire transfer is readily available? Kausapin nyo bank nyo paano at magkano ang wire transfer nila. SWIFT code lang ang requirement and of course you need a bank na established. The millior dollar question is saan sa Pinas meron mga Australian banks na locally na nag-office sa Pinas? Check nyo ANZ, CBA, NAB etc....

or....check your local ATM card... may VISA or MASTER or CIRRUS logo? Your pesos will be converted as dollars pag withdraw nyo dito. Kung ayaw maniwala itanong nyo sa bank. BPI and Metrobank naman sigurado ako nagagamit hahaha since naka cirrus yun.

or.... open a multi-currency account sa HSBC or sa citibank or even yung local bank sa pinas kung meron sila noon.

I HOPE MAENLIGHTEN NA LAHAT NG PAPUNTA NA HINDI NAMAN HULI ANG AUSTRALIA SA TECHNOLOGY PATI BANKING SYSTEM. MATAGAL NA PO YAN.

Now I hope you get to understand that "your plastic card is your new best friend."

PS.
I like the first page where it says "kopiko coffee" hehehe meron po at saksakan ng dami ng Asian store dito pati pampaputi ni Belo meron sila. SURPRISE! Yes, parte pa rin ng mundo ang Australia at hindi outer space so yung hinahanap nyo meron dito plus more. Even balut meron or sinigang mix or dugo ng baboy na binebenta. So wag na kayo makunsume dahil you just need to read and ask... pag problem sa money transfer ask your local bank, pag problema sa favourite food nyo ask yung office ng food maker kung meron sila distribute sa ibang bansa, kung problem paano magremit ask all remittance centres, pag prob ang cargo shipment google... use the mighty google.

Goodluck!

LokiJr

Medyo obvious nga naman ang bawal sa hindi...pero mahirap din kung nasa mismong sitwasyon ka na...I would imagine kung granted na visa ko at sa sobrang excitement, nagdala ako ng kung ano ano kahit alam kong dati pa na bawal yun hehe...

TasBurrfoot

Basta the rule of thumb is that if you are in doubt with what you have brought, just declare it... They will never penalize you if you just declare it, the worse that could happen is that they will confiscate it (just like what happened to my bah kwah/dried meat)...

LokiJr

Dapat may thread tayo na parang "anong wala sa Australia na sulit bauinin paalis ng Pinas" noh hehe...

faye

Nice idea @LokiJr. Interested ako jan sana may magshare

Bryann

Hi delski. Yun mga gamot, hindi ko kasi dineclare nun una. Pero nun andun ako sa mahaba na pila sa customs, nagtanung ako dun sa officer na nakatayo. Sabi nya okay lang daw sa kanila yun, pero next time ideclare ko daw as medicine.

Yun hard disk po, 2 naka check-in nakalagay sa box nya, para hindi aalog alog. Tapos meron ako isa nasa backpack na hand carry ko. No need to declare those. Hehe. Hope this helps.

aldousnow

speaking of hdisk. kakapanood ko lang sa border security nung sunday lang. may group of malaysians na tourist visa.. pero kahina hinala ang pakay. kaya yun.. tsinek gamit nila.. pati hdisk, ayun nakita may mga resume at cover letter sa hdisk. so tingin ganun talaga, pag wala naman kahina hinala sayo, hindi nila ichecheck hdisk mo. parang nung isa ko pa din napanood nga na may dala naman na drugs.. ayun chinek din hdisk nya.. may nakita naman na mga porn.

icebreaker1928

hotshot

@aldousnow : pag "kahina hinala ang pakay"....ano po ba yun? baka kasi ganun din pala ang ichura ko...mayari pa ang mga hdisks ko. hahaha

@aldousnow : pag "kahina hinala ang pakay"....ano po ba yun? baka kasi ganun din pala ang ichura ko...mayari pa ang mga hdisks ko. hahaha

mostly makikita yan sa body movements mo.. hahaha...
pag-hindi steady ang tingin... kinakabahan.. at medyo namumutla... lol...

aldousnow

@hotshot kahina hinala sa kanila.. e kung halimbawa mukha ka balisa.. or kabado na hindi mawari. mga ganun ba.. yung isa ko pa napanood.. sabog yung caucasian teenager.. halatang sabog sa drugs.. tapos yun chinek mga gamit nya. baka kasi nga may dala drugs. wala naman. negative naman sa mga dala nya. eto napansin ko.. but I'm not endorsing.. hehehe. yung immigration security, they don't mind kahit na sabog ka. basta wala ka lang dalang drugs. kasi dami ko na napanood na mukha tlaga sabog sa drugs.. ichechek nila.. pero wala naman dala, ayun pinapalusot naman. yung iba naman may baon pa na drugs, ayun kalaboso.. more than 50k aud fine.. tapos 4years - 7years imprison pa yung iba. pero alam ko naman wala mga adik dito sa forum. hehehe. ayun lang.
yung isa naman, pinay yung immigration officer ang nagchek.. (alam na alam mo sa accent na pinay eh.) hehehe. yung manong na mukhang tiga middle east.. siguro nasa mid 40s to 50s. e chinek gamit nya.. tapos sabi nya tourist visa lang sya.. pero wala daw sya alam na lugar sa australia.. kung san sya tutuloy. tapos may pinadala daw sa kanya na coloring book para sa kaibigan nya. e naghinala si immigration officer na pinay.. pinachek yung coloring book sa hitech nilang scanner. ayun.. may drugs pala na nakatago dun sa mga pages nung book. kalaboso din si manong.
