Title: Australian peeps - help please
Post by: PoserBeachball on November 07, 2019, 03:55:20 AM
Are there any restrictions on sending G1s as presents to Australia from UK?
The pony in question is a rehaired G1, a Christmas present for a friend. Would this cause any customs problems as I know that your rules are pretty strict?
It will be gift-wrapped in a postal parcel with a couple of other items that I'm sure are OK.
Thanks

As an Australian, I'd say a pony would be fine!

Just no perfume, meds,  unprocessed natural food like meat or fruit(?) no soft drinks or liquids they have the potential to explode, I cant think of much else but I can research more if need be!

Candy, savoury snacks and powdered drinks are fine (just make sure any powder stuff is wrapped in a bag so if it explodes you, your friend or pony won't get dirty.)

Meds like strepsils is fine, just no bad drugs like cocaine or aluminium cream tube stuff.

Also, I don't think the postal force people would appreciate it being gift wrapped. You might be able to get away with it if the shipping areas are the original box (If that makes sense)

Thank you so much

and also for the heads-up on gift wrapping - think I'll do it so that it can be opened and re-closed easily if required.

Yeah, I'd say that'd be fine! And also if you're sending chocolate stuff be mindful and put that in a bag as well, as it's entering/already summer here in Aus!
