Did you know? 
 
Your baggage may be X-rayed when you arrive. This should not affect normal camera film. 
 
Fireworks, flammable liquids, corrosives, gas cylinders are not permitted on aircraft or in your baggage. 
 
Visitors including business people and students can bring such items as desktop or laptop computers and similar electronic equipment duty free into Australia provided Customs is satisfied these items are intended to be taken with them on departure. 
 
Yellow fever vaccination: Refer to the Australian Department of Health and Ageing site, <a target=_blank href=http://www.health.gov.au/>http://www.health.gov.au/</a> before completing your Incoming Passenger Card given to you before arrival. 
 
If you are importing a motor vehicle, caravan or trailer, yacht or other craft, copies of brochures on requirements are available from Customs offices or Australian missions overseas. 
 
A word of advice 
 
As a routine part of their work, Customs officers may question travellers at any time. Trained dogs may also be used to detect illegal drugs or prohibited imports. If you are in doubt, declare your goods or ask a Customs officer for advice. 
 
Declaring goods does not necessarily mean your baggage will be examined. 
 
There are severe penalties for not declaring prohibited or restricted items and goods on which you must pay duty/tax. Presenting false receipts also carries heavy penalties. 
 
If you are unhappy with any aspect of your dealings with Customs, please ask to speak to a senior officer.
