There are heroes in ancient times who are sad to pass the beauty customs, but now the heroes are sad to pass the customs.
Australian media Australian has reported that in the five-year period from January 2010 to January 2015, 8521 legal visa holders were cancelled and repatriated at Australian customs. That means that nearly five people are granted cancel visas every day when they enter the country, and on average two of these five people are Chinese!
What are the reasons for repatriation:
If you say the wrong thing, you`ll be repatriated!
Beyond the deadline will be repatriated!
There is bad content in the mobile phone computer will be repatriated!
But the most common ones are:
I brought the wrong thing. I didn`t declare it. I was repatriated!
Not only that, but if the visa is cancelled and repatriated, this stain will have a lasting impact on you:
1. If you have been deported from Australia or have your visa cancelled for criminal reasons, you will always be denied entry by Australia;
2. If you have been detained in Australia and arranged to leave the country, you will not be allowed to return to Australia again within 12 months of your departure;
3, if you have been cancelled by Australia, but no crime, then you will not be able to obtain a temporary visa in Australia for 3 years;
4. If you have left the country 28 days after the expiration of your Australian visa, you may not be allowed to apply for a temporary Australian visa for three years.
It can be said that the wrong things, the problem of non-declaration almost every day will occur in Australia Customs, once found, a light warning fine, heavy criminal penalties.

Some of the seized items were underreported, others were deliberately underreported, three people were indicted and border inspectors issued 1008 fines totalling more than A $ three hundred and thirty two thousand.
"bring the wrong thing, do not declare", even if not serious enough to punish, will also cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, the start of the journey will be overshadowed.
1. Filling out the entry form for the whole family before landing was "fooled".
Before landing, flight attendants usually give non-native residents an entry form, which is usually indicated in English and in the local language (the Australian Customs and Excise Department also has a Chinese version). Foreign visitors entering the country must fill out the entry form truthfully on it.
But the reason why the netizens have been laughing at the end of the day was because they believed their family too much. Unfortunately, they were vague about her and brought in a lot of things they shouldn`t have brought with them.
In the matter of filling out the entry form, if you do not know the situation of others, it is best to ask each and every other clearly. It is stated in the documents that what you cannot bring into the country must not be brought into the country, and that you must not mess with each other. Otherwise, once you have been found out to be inconsistent with the facts, A lot of trouble!
2. The whole family has only put cash on "uncle" alone, and only ten thousand?
On the entry form, there is one item that many national customs officials will require to fill out, that is, the amount of cash they carry. Australia allows each person to bring no more than 10000 Australian dollars into the country. If the standard is not declared, customs may find that the cash may be confiscated.
And the cash concentrated on everyone, the Chinese can understand this point. But from a foreigner`s point of view, they don`t understand why adults go abroad without cash, but only with another adult.
3. The family will hide cash in unimaginable places.
Chinese travel like to bring a lot of cash and worry that it`s not safe to keep them in their wallets, so they keep their ideas in different places. When Australian customs officers saw this group of tourists pulling cash out of unexpected places, the whole thing was about to collapse! The netizen said he was humiliated in front of customs officers, thinking that the situation was really thunderous.
In fact, many foreign places can still use credit cards and UnionPay cards, as long as normal operation, there is nothing unsafe. In a word, it is clear that the provisions of foreign entry cash carrying, as long as within the limit, can be a decent entry into the land, there is no need to hide Yye. (pictures from the Web)
4. Sunflower seeds were found hidden in Mao Gong Tsai
Traveling abroad to bring vegetables, mushrooms, but also hide melon seeds in Mao dolls, my God! In general, many countries are not allowed to bring vegetables, fruits, meat and other foods into the country for inspection and quarantine needs, and may be fined if found to be in addition to confiscation.
If you travel abroad, don`t risk taking out something you can`t take with you for "Chinese stomach." in Australia, many things can be bought in Chinese supermarkets and Chinatown. If you really have something like fruit jerky, it`s best to get rid of it before you get off the plane.
