Hi,
All just got in one hour go to Perth.
Lost a number of items to customs with borer all from Geneva. We had a very fair Customs Officer who got second opions with out us asking. We lost six place mats with cinnamon embeded in them, your'd know them by sight black or dark brown with swirls in it - I didn't know it was cinnamon that made the curls I just liked them. Well there was old and new holes in them, the officer was very suprised as she has never struck it in them before and she takes special notice of them as she loves the cinnamon in the product. Also lost some wooden boxes. But we were able to keep other items which had old holes in them.
So just double check - hard in the dark light of Geneva other things from there werer fine but all the things we lost were from Geneva. Buyer beware I did check some things - but not the right ones obviously.
Very impressed with Customs and the fairness of their decisons.
Should note we had the choice of paying for fumigation but it wasn't worth it ($30.00AUD) - I'll just check more carefully next trip... hey I've only been home and hour! Time for bed!
