Re: [81attendees] Flying via the US

[Narelle <[e-mail]>]

I'll reinforce this one: I have had a number of European friends lose
apparently excellent wine destined as a gift for me in transit through
Thailand/Singapore/etc to Australia.

Bottles can't exceed 100mL, can't be flammable etc, though there
doesn't seem to be a limit on the numbers of bottles of
perfume/toiletries/medicines/etc as long as they overall are under the
relevant import quantity/value.

So the lesson is, put it in checked baggage, or buy it at the last hop.


Cheers
