portlaunay Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi all, how is immigration laws with bringing in spices? And what's the most common spice in perth?? We binned all of ours. Asian supermarkets are very cheap for spices but some fresh herbs are difficult to find. Tarragon is awful - no perfume and very little flavour.

Candygirl Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I don't think you can bring any spices in at all. We bought a load of different spices from the Spud Shed. Very reasonable. There are quite a few Indian and Chinese Supermarkets dotted about. I have just not had a chance to visit them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyandJo Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Pickfords packed all of my spices. I think the fact they are not perishable may be why. I recently bought coffee beans in from Thailand and customs weren't interested in them either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Spices aren't on the prohibited list - http://www.daff.gov.au/biosecurity/travel/moving-emigrating#prohibited although they are on the list of 'Items of biosecurity concern in unaccompanied personal effects' - http://www.daff.gov.au/biosecurity/travel/moving-emigrating/items_of_quarantine_concern_in_personal_effects For kitchen goods, the advice is "Kitchen goods – do not pack half opened packages of dry foods, herbs and spices that may be harbouring insect pests that are difficult to see."

bugsyburrell Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Perfect thanks, that'll be us stocking up before we leave then? If you guys need any brought over give us a holler, not sure any fresh herbs will last in the container tho? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugsyburrell Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks for that. I always assumed being near the Asian marketplace they would be quite accessible, but the kids don't wanna miss out on 'mumma's special chicken'!!
