When entering Australia, I believe we all know what we can carry and what we can't. But there is one kind of thing that seems to be easy to ignore, that is, drugs.
Carrying drugs overseas, because of policy issues, drug problems, the parties are eventually repatriated, or even locked up in prison from time to time.
The Chinese were repatriated to the United States with Chinese medicine
For example, China's father and daughter brought 16 bottles of glycyrrhizae into the United States and were not only repatriated, but also ordered not to enter the United States for five years.
Note: the FDA inspection report sent by U. S. Customs shows that the compound glycyrrhizin tablets contain coca base (cocaine), as prohibited and need to be destroyed or mailed back to China. If an incoming passenger carries a drug containing drug, it would be a light penalty for the customs to let him go and forbid entry for five years, and the severe will face penalties and prison sentences.
British woman sentenced to three years' imprisonment
In October, one news story was that a British woman entered Egypt with nearly 290 tablets of pain-killer tramadol and was sentenced to three years in Egypt.
In fact, customs offices all over the world have strict regulations on medicines, and violations may face severe penalties: what drugs can enter the country, what drugs cannot enter, what documents should be provided when carrying drugs into the country, and the restrictions on the number of drugs, and so on. There are very specific rules and regulations.

The most important thing we should pay attention to here is: many of our commonly used drugs, may all belong to the "prohibited drugs"! Plan to go abroad to play friends, before traveling, must be careful! For example, some painkillers, tramadol and drugs containing codeine could face fines or even prison sentences if brought into the United Arab Emirates.
Japan, for example, banned drugs containing pseudoephedrine, such as (Sudafed) and Vicks, could not be brought into Japan.
In Qatar, medicines for colds and coughs are controlled and must be prescribed.
When entering Costa Rica, if there is a strict limit on the number of drugs you carry, you can only take as long as you take, and you need a doctor's certificate.
