We all have caring parents who wrap stacks of goodies in our branded suitcases despite knowing the hardship we face to pull those properly packed goods through the green channel. On our entire travel, we fear getting the packet disposed of and hope that the product glides slowly because there are many things cannot bring in Australia from overseas.
Australia has a strict bio-security law prohibit certain foreign plants, animal material, foods, entering the country due to the threat of introducing serious pests and disease to Australia. As per rule came into effect from 2019, April the airport authorities can cancel visitor visa if the travels fail to declare the prohibited items. The list of cannot bring in Australia is long and must be followed. Many people already detained and deported while trying to bring such things into Australia with them. [ads2]
So, if you are traveling to Australia either from Nepal or any other country make sure to go through the list of the items you cannot bring in Australia and pack only from the can bring in Australia list.
