Hi All

When we visited Australia and New Zealand in 2000 both had signs  
posted in the airports about the fines imposed if you didn't declare  
the foods you had in your possession.  We had nothing when going into  
Oz but had some carded fleece and honey samples from Tasmania when  
entering NZ.  Neither were allowed in.  At that time, NZ did not have  
EFB while Tasmania did, according to the official at Christchurch  
airport.

I have many customers originally from Japan and Korea who bring  
visitors from those countries to buy my honey to take home with  
them.  I warn them to check with officials back home before trying to  
take honey with them.  I have never been told about seizures nor that  
our honey is allowed.  Some people take several cases, some as heavy  
as 12 kg on the plane with them.  One, I did hear about was a fellow  
going to the middle east via New York where he tried to board his  
flight with several jars of my honey in his carry-on.  Hmmm!!!!
