    @Admin hindi naman po ibebenta.. personal use lang po. :)

    ok na po.. we arrived yesterday here in australia. dineclare ko po yung jewelries. tinanong lang ako ng estimated value and then sila na nagsabi na ok na daw then proceed na kami.

    so far smooth naman po ang pagpasok namin ng australia. di na binuksan mga dala namin. kahit yung mga dineclare namin, di na tinignan. konting tanong lang po then proceed na.

    actually, sa pilipinas kami nagtagal kasi before check in, binuksan lahat ng bagahe namin. yun lang naman po. pero ok naman ang lahat. :)

    maraming salamat po sa lahat ng tulong. :)

    Hi Guys, ask ko lang po.. My son wanted to bring his PS4 console , controllers and mga ilang games. Would we encounter any issue sa pagdating sa Au?

    If not, pwede ba i hand carry or better i check-in?

    Thanks!

    Hindi naman, i had some boxes sealed and some are opened. One luggage around 32kgs napuno ko. Checked-in baggage pala ito with jetstar. Sinita lang ako ng immigration kasi I declared na may dala kaming food. I just declared truthfully and wala pang ilang minuto nasa labas na kami. :)

    Hi, itatanong ko lang po kung pwede po magdala ng chichirya (Tomi, Clover, etc.) and instant noodles (pancit canton)? Need po ba i-declare yun?

    And yung mga external HDs may limit ba kung ilan ang pwedeng dalhin? I have more than one kasi nakahiwalay by file types (photos from camera and phone, documents/work, music, etc). I'm worried if chinecheck pa nila yun

    @athelene Food yes always always always declare. Australia has one of the strictest customs borders in the world.

    we've been in and out of oz and we never declared any of our grocery stuffs that are commercially packed... well maybe except canned goods. if wala sa list na nakalagay sa prohibited items ng passenger card hindi na namin dinedeclare.

    My wife brought lechon cebu packed in a tupperware as pasalubong. She declared it along with other groceries just ot be safe pero yung lechon lang talaga ang hindi pinayagan.

    Ofcourse for first timers its alright to be worried and declare everything. Better safe than sorry syempre. Suggestion ko lang para iwas stress, lahat ng plano nyo ideclare na items, put it in one bag or luggage para kapag inispect, hindi nyo na bubuksan at maghahagilap sa lahat ng maleta.

    @fruitys @layao2002 Thank you for the advice! I do plan to put all the food stuffs in one suitcase para magkakasama na ang mga pagkain. Most likely commercially-packed and sealed foods na lang ang dadalhin ko para hindi hassle. :)
