Does anyone know anything about the Customs/Quarantine proceedures for food
when traveling to Australia?
My 16 yr. old daughter is going to Australia on Wed. as an exchange student
for 3 weeks. I sent a box of food to her host family. When they received
it, it had been opened by the Quarantine people at customs and several items
taken out. There was a letter that stated they quarantine anything with
milk, eggs, chicken, and popcorn in it.
They took out several boxes of rice pasta that I sent. All it contains is 2
kinds of rice and water. Does anyone know anything about these proceedures?
Also, I was planning to bake a loaf of her bread and send it with her. But
now I'm wondering if they will take that away from her.
If I write a letter explaining the situation will that help? Should I get a
note from her Doctor? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Time is short.
Thanks,
Jane in CA
