anything that is made out of banana leaf, even if it has been sealed with lacquer..I unknowlingly bought a notebook with the font cover in banana leaf and it was taken away. Also, I had a wooden turtle confiscated becasue it was decorated in artists sand..the sand was the issue..customs could not be sure it was safe so I had to hand it over..
