Chocolate

[Shortie]

I would like to know from anyone, if I can take some chocolate bars with me in my luggage (I will be declaring it!)
I have looked on AQIS but not much help at all!

Should be OK as long as you declare it - after all they sell it in Duty Free!

Yes its absolutely fine just DECLARE DECLARE DECLARE. Or face a 200 dollar fine( Ive watched far too much border security so am very paranoid about taking any food in my luggage at all)

Oh and if you have any concerns or queries

If you decide to declare anything i.e chocolate or food items, you might have to have all your luggage checked.............
..declaring is obviously v important!!
but why waste your time unpacking everything infront of a stranger..

just dont bring anything over to decare on the flight and shop when you arrive.. its abit of a no brainer

[loopylisa]

Thats another really why i dont bring any food over cant be doing with the hassle of unpacking my stuff. Just wanna get through the red tape and into Mr loopys arms ASAP

Oh or alternatively if you're dead set on sending a few of your favourite choccies over you could just post them that way your avoid the hassle of unpacking infront of quarantine and you get a nice little pressie from the uk after you land :)

I always bring a suitcase full of choc as the choc is not the same here I always declare it and when asked what I have and say choc they just let you go without opening cases I have done it about 4 times over the years and never had to open my case

Chocolate, crisps and lollies (sweets) - brought loads of them back with us, and visitors have brought them out too. Just declare them. They got the sniffer dog to come sniff our cases (we didn't have to unpack everything in front of anyone) and all was fine. My sister in law even bought a huge multipack bag of Quavers - no worries!

Don't bring any meat products (I really wanted to bring some pork scratchings for a friend's husband but decided it wasn't worth the risk!) or any fruit. Even if you have one small pack of peanuts from the plane with you, declare it! What's the worst that can happen? They take it off you. Better than not declaring and ending up with a huge fine or worse.
