in Ubud and declared them , they were allowed in no problem.
I was told however it is best to get prepacked but I didnt (its cheaper not to) just check them out well before you buy.
grocery stores have them for around 35000RP for 5-8 pods I paid 80000 and got over 100 pods from a market stall (after some hard haggling).
Also DONT by the 'Safron' Its not actually safron but Safflower, useless as far as cooking goes. Cracked me up when I saw them selling it as safron!
Also dont bother with Cinnamon quills (or those gorgeous plates with cinnamon inlay) they wll need treatment from customs :( I so badly wanted some too.......................................
