They are a problem at customs, you need to get the skins that are really white, apparently they have been treated or so customs at Brisbane told us. My little boy had one and we were told that it would cost $140 to have it treated and we said no way keep it. Then my little boy got a little teary and another customs guy came over and said no it looks like its been lime treated. Don't know if he felt sorry for our son, if they are going to confiscate it just cry, may work.
