Deb Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Can you buy drink from supermarket in England and take back to Australia with you.If so is this part of your allowance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plimthing Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 you will have to declare it on your little card you get on the plane to fill out before landing. This will be shown to immigration officer on your arrival then its up to them if they want to have a look inside your bags and check. I'd wrap it really well tho, as it has to get loaded in UK by our gentle baggage handlers and then again in Dubai/Singapore or wherever your transiting through so a good chance your clothes will be smelling of plonk and full of glass. Why not buy it at your transit stop???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Duty free allowances apply to passengers entering Australia. If you are aged 18 years or over you can bring the following items: •2250ml of alcoholic beverage. •50 cigarettes or 50 grams of cigars or tobacco products duty-free into Australia with you. All tobacco products in accompanied baggage are included in this category, regardless of how or where they were purchased. •Unlimited fragrance for personal use (excluding concentrates). Each adult over 18 years is allowed A$900 worth of other goods, while each child is allowed A$450. Alternatively, you can combine your allowances on the one declaration with your immediate family (maximum two adults per family), which means two adults and two children = A$2700. Further information on allowances at http://www.customs.gov.au. It would be classed as part of your allowance, but unless it's a gift you've been bought, as previously said, you'd need to wrap it really well as it will have to go in your checked in baggage.

Plimthing Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 if you buy it from outside the airport you will not be able to take it on plane as hand luggage due to the security regarding carry liquids/gels/pastes in commercial airliner cabin. If you buy from Tesco's you will have to pack it in your case, which, if your buying in bulk is going to chew up your baggage allowance. Buy at your transit airport they will seal it so you can carry it onwards in the cabin to Perth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Why not buy at the Duty Free shop at Perth airport when you land back? Less hassle and the prices are pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 You can buy it at where ever you stop on the way. Dubai is reasonable for duty free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest6235 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Are you glad to be coming back Deb or would you rather stay with Grandchildren? Or a bit of both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Plan was to buy it at airport but got bottles for xmas presants Get it at the transit airport rather than where you origin flight starts. The reason is if you have it as hand luggage and transit, you may have it confiscated when you transit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayW Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Definitely get at Perth on arrival. As cheap as transit airport and hassle free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjez Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Plan was to buy it at airport but got bottles for xmas presants I bought some vodka back to the UK in hold luggage. Wrap it in bubble wrap and box it. Tbh UK supermarkets seem cheaper than most duty free. UK especially. Perth duty was open at three in the morning. Chocolate was expensive in Dubai.

Finland Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Last week Singapore Changi seemed a tad cheaper than Perth duty free. Interestingly you'll have to make your purchase at Changi minimum 90 mins before your Oz onward flight departure time, otherwise they will not sell to you (the purchased goods appear to gate, you cannot carry them through security).
