travelling attention

Only certain type of food is allowed if you declare it at the customs. Snacks like chocolate or biscuits in sealed package are allowed to enter into Australia. It would be much easier if you follow their instructions like when you fill in the disembarkation card (the form you fill in while you on board) , make sure you tick yes to the question asking if you have brough any food with you ; pack all the food that you need to declare in your handcarry bag so you can show the staff at the customs straight away when asked then they do not have to ransack you other luggages. Be cooperative and tell them what the food is , usually they are very friendly and wouldn't ask too many questions especially if the package has english written on it. I usually brought a lot of snacks from 零食物語 when I go back to melbourne every year and I never got into any trouble.

No problem at all, as long as you declare it and there is no egg contents in the biscuit. I always bring some chocolate with me and declare it when I return to Australia, it is much easier this way than bring no food at all.

You'd better not to bring any snack/food to Australia becase you have to throw all to the red box before walking through the immigration, otherwise you get yourself in trouble.

I think there is a problem with it
I travelled to sydney before, when the plane was about to land there was a broadcast warning passenger that no food or drink were allowed in any case on boarding. They even spray insesticide while the plane was still flying to kill any bacteria on the play. I suggest u better not to bring any food there. I was brought to custody because they have scanned some shiny object in my case(certainly not anything really harmful). That one hr made me crazy
i think that's the same in melboune

all in all, better not bring any food on board to australia. I think mailing it to aus is ok , u can have a check on it
