Many Chinese people like to bring or help bring their own daily necessities when they travel between China and Australia. Although Australian customs has strict requirements for incoming goods, customs officers often check at the airport, but do not make too many difficulties to passengers. For a long time, it is only natural that many Chinese will carry too many restricted items, such as tea, wine and cigarettes, without carrying meat, dairy products and other Australian customs orders. Whether it is to leave for their own use or to send them as "human feelings," it is their intention to "make a steady profit."

But when the small part made a card to the Australian customs, it was only to know how to cut the upper limit of the cigarette to be true! In the official website of the Australian Customs (http://www.border.gov.au/), the latest regulations on the carrying of tobacco are as follows: tobacco:25 g of tobacco or 25 cigarettes

It`s just a little bit of a shock! It is to be known that, before, although Australia has been carrying tobacco and cigarettes in quantity and weight, the upper limit of the previous standard is 50 cigarettes, equivalent to the two-and-a-half of domestic cigarettes; when it is not known, the Australian Customs has suddenly changed its provisions, Cut the original upper limit by half?! You know,25 cigarettes, it`s equivalent to a pack of cigarettes in the country... For some of the old smokers, that`s not enough for a few days... I believe it`s not only a small part, but a lot of people should be in a state of collapse... To know, in Australia, the price of tobacco is not cheap. At the same time, because of the continued emphasis on the harmful effects of tobacco on the human body, such as Australia and other western countries, the packaging of cigarettes is also the most frightening picture, although the starting point is good, but also a lot of Chinese have to respect the cigarettes sold in Australia... In addition, some of the old smokers in the country prefer the taste of the domestic tobacco, so that the domestic cigarette has not only become the "Fragrant" of many Chinese smokers, even a lot of Chinese friends who do not smoke, will be willing to take a few bags of domestic cloud and smoke, Soot and other cigarettes came to Australia as a gift. Today, Australia has further strengthened the restrictions on the entry of cigarettes and tobacco, and many of the unsuspecting Chinese are "China`s move". Under a Weibo that informs the Australian customs of a change to the inbound cigarette, it is also said that, in the past few years, the entry can only carry five cigarettes, according to the speed at which the Australian Customs tightens the upper limit of the entry cigarette?! Although some "to shrug off" have been sounded, the Australian Customs has so strict restrictions on the entry of cigarettes, but it is an act of no choice. in February this year, that custom of Australia, through the press, said that the entry of cigarettes through illegal smuggling had become an important issue, and only in January this year, the Australian Customs seized 5 million illegal cigarettes and 1 ton of tobacco in the international post office in the western part of Sydney, A record of the number of illegal tobacco seized in the sector`s history was updated. A new state customs official also said in an interview with the media that because the Australian cigarettes are five times more expensive than Asian cigarettes, a number of illegal cigarette-smuggling operations have been created: the smuggler made use of electronic products, The purpose of smuggling cigarettes is achieved by using plush toys or high-heeled shoes and the like as the "cover". and because of the lack of the strength of the customs on these issues, many of the smugglers often have a good sense of being in the belief that the smuggling of cigarettes only needs to be fined; it is not known that the smuggling of cigarettes is enough to be sentenced to imprisonment in Australia, And up to a fine of $11000 at the same time. At the same time, restrictions on the entry of cigarettes and the helplessness of the Australian Customs: According to the customs official, these cigarettes from Asia, most likely to contain metal debris, or a bird`s faecal matter, once entered Australia, It`s going to bring an unexpected disease to the island`s island of mainland. So, the Chinese friends who like to smoke, please adjust the mentality, or let the friends take some of the domestic tobacco products to the country. After all, smoking is at the end of harmful health. After that, although Australia has already cancelled the green departure card, the orange entry card has been saved; many Chinese, while enjoying the convenience of the de-departure card at the beginning of the month, don`t forget that the entry card at the time of return is still to be filled out! It doesn`t matter if you have forgotten how the entry card is filled out, or you forget to ban the carrying of the article and to restrict the type of carrying the article. Here, let`s make a fuss of the process from the confirmation of the subject to the entry card. First of all, it is possible to confirm, from the chart below, which items of their own baggage belong to the prohibited entry, which belong to the items to be declared, and which can be assured of being brought into the territory of Australia:

At the same time, with the exception of food and tea, cash worth equal to or more than A $10000 in cash or equivalent in foreign currencies, as well as drugs containing steroids, opioids, anesthetics and other drugs that may cause drug dependence and abuse, are among the declared articles, please be careful to declare. Australia`s entry card has a Chinese version, on cross-border flights only need to ask flight attendants can basically get it; however, even if you can only get English, you can also refer to the picture of the Chinese entry card to fill in, remember not to fill in the wrong oh!
In fact, wherever you are, obeying the rules is equivalent to being responsible for yourself. Although the Australian customs has always had a moderate attitude, this does not serve as a reason for some people to get away with it and hide it from the sea. Even if the Australian customs has recently become slightly tough, not only restricting the entry of goods, but also saying that they have been detained by the customs for storing some "undescribable" pictures in their mobile phones, all reflect the recent trend of gradual strictness in the Australian customs. Therefore, for their own sake, Chinese friends, it is better to abide by these new rules!
