KK Lee 5 Report post Posted May 17, 2009 All duty free drinks brought into Australia need to place in a sealed bag. If a pax buy 2 bottle or more, duty free shop need to deliver these to the boarding gate Aussie airport security don’t permit transit pax to carry bottle even in sealed bag e.g. if pax is travelling to BNE via SYD, his bottle will be confiscated at SYD However, bottle bought at Aussie airport need not place in a sealed bag if next stop is final destination Why the discrimination? To protect Aussie arrival duty free shop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheng Long 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 my friend's super expensive johnnie walker swing whiskey was confiscated by some australian security officer last time. the bottle of whiskey was all new, still in a box and not yet opened. it didnt matter that the duty free shop also sell the same liquor just a meters away from the security check. the officer took the bottle, put it under her table and said it was illegal to bring it in. hmm... wonder what did she do with the with the whiskey.. might have a big party.

Waiping 12 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 I had a somewhat opposite experience last time in China. I bought two bottles and put inside my carry on luggage. My friend also bought 1 bottle. The Chinese custom officer confiscated his but not mine. Said certain type of alcohol not allowed to bring out of China. Maybe his favorite brand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
