Taking Cigarettes o/s
Re: Taking Cigarettes o/s
I usually take 2 cartons back & put them at the bottom of the checked in luggage. At the top of my luggage I will place some sort of wooden souvenirs & declare them. At the customs desk I will put the bag on the counter and open it showing them the wooden souvenirs. They ask if I have anything else to declare and I say no & go on my way.Tootsfriend wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 6:33 pm I was just told a carton of cigarettes is around A $500 in Australia. Has anyone, or is it possible to take ? carton [s] bought in Cambodia not from a duty free shop.
In Australia I usually smoke rolling tobacco as Tailor made cigarettes are way too expensive. There are a lot of tobaconist selling black market cigs, Chinese 20 pack for about $17.

Yeah, so many thousands dying of overdoses after just one cigarette.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Exactly the type of uninformed and ill-conceived approach that has led us to the current crisis in addiction, drug abuse and cartel violence. Do you think that heroin and fentanyl abuse is actually going down the way it is currently "dealt" with?

A friend who travels from Cambodia to Oz several times a year only carries a small backpack with 8-10 cartons as he is a heavy smoker on a pension. His age and travel history sees him always waved thru.
But makes you wonder - at 500 a carton - even if you sell 1/2 price it is a good earner.
As I understand it, if detected, you can either pay the tax or have the goods seized.

Tobacco would stand out like dogs balls in the x-ray machine.kgbagent wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 2:33 pm A friend who travels from Cambodia to Oz several times a year only carries a small backpack with 8-10 cartons as he is a heavy smoker on a pension.

That's why I suggest you have something else to declare!

If caught and you didn't declare then usually you will be fined and have them confiscated....you only have the option to pay the taxes and keep them if you declare themkgbagent wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 2:33 pm A friend who travels from Cambodia to Oz several times a year only carries a small backpack with 8-10 cartons as he is a heavy smoker on a pension.
