Hi all, flying to Australia this Saturday for further study, just want to check if whether Milo and Aik Cheong Coffee can be brought into Australia?
Will be declaring the items but if the items are destined to be thrown away then no point bringing it over also.

The Kopi-O is in Sachet package by the way, milo might bring either 1 kg type or 3-in type.


Tried to google but even the Australia Immigration page didn't state anything about beverage...

declared only.. if their custom see ur face pretty cute.. ok lor..

no worries, they will let u go with it

Milk product from Msia not allowed.

You can try your luck and declare, if cannot then throw away.

Or try your luck dont declare, get caught and hefty fine or maybe warning and items throw away also.

Yes you can bring, but a waste of time at the custom check point. Just buy the damn thing in Australia and stop wasting other peoples time who are stuck waiting at customs

just declare any food u bring...

CANNOTTTTT.... there also got sell lar.. don't be like that fella on my flight bring shark fin.. kena kastam all buang..

hey bro, pro tip - make sure all ur declared stuff has labels , then they will let u go thru.

If u bringing things like chilli or garlic paste , best to pack in those glass jar WITH labels. U can con the customs if u want to, they will let it go thru as long as sealed and with label. They check the label dont have any prohibited stuff then will lepas.

So for your aik cheong should be able to lepas bcos no milk , butthe milo confirm buang.

Few friends came back from Australia and they told me Milo can bring in...
Went declaration counter, the officer no need to even declare it.. LOL
I guess I will bring in a some 3 in 1 packets (maybe Milo Kosong) and check the items for dairy products...
I guess it all depends on the officers mood...
If mood good then let you pass...else...
Bye bye my milo kosong...

No dairy product from Msia, if its from Spore then its fine, but make sure you declare

Nowadays they are not so strict. Even bak kwa (in vacuum pack) are also allowed thru.

Just declare that you have food. When they ask you what you have, then tell them some coffee powder, etc. If they say cannot bring in then the most buang lor.

Milo and 3-in-1 kopi can buy in Australia la

Why bother to carry over plus worry over such small thing as well?

if u going for studies, kenot each trip to/fro Msia/Aus be carrying over milo / kopi for all the years of your study right?

U will get used to taste of stuff in Aus. But i repeat, semua boleh beli in Aus la unless u going to study in outback LOL

No la...
Just going there to study 5 months...
You know Chinese like to jimat every single penny..
So if can bring over there then save some money...
Thanks all for the reply...
Maybe will try to bring over...
If kena thrown then gonna buy it over there...

Anything with dairy product such as hydrated milk is not allowed.

Really? Last time my friend brought back 1 kilo of bakwa to Aussie. He declared. The custom gave him a choice. He either throw it away or finish it on the spot. So he spend 30 minutes finishing that one kilo and go out.

if 5 months then no point la

just go there enjoy all the various cuisine that you cannot find here - European cuisine especially

Don't bring a lot, just bring one packet enough. If can masuk then masuk, if cannot then throw.
But do know that you can buy pretty much everything there from asian grocers.

Is chocolate products included? I've brought in chocolates before. Declared food, the officer ask what do I have, I said chocolates and she just let me walk straight out without opening my bags. That was in 2015.

When was that?
Sometimes it really depends on your luck and the custom officer.

Chocs has MILK. Not allowed.

Not recently. It was like 10 years ago? Also he can't bring in dog food from Malaysia for his dogs. 2 separate incidents, the bakwa and dog food. But finishing the 1kg bakwa in the custom office is damn funny.

Like I said, I brought it in. Sydney airport. And the officer didn't even open my bag.
I generally try not to bring food into Aussie since it's quite troublesome but I know of family friends who live in Perth and fly every to and fro with lots of food every other month. They have brought in so many stuffs before that I don't even know where to begin

Yea, 10 years ago definitely way more stricter than now.
Haha. I can't imagine just standing there finishing the 1kg. Confirm sore throat after that lol. But it's too expensive to throw away.

If unlucky, you may end up with hefty fine and you cannot plead innocence.

As long as you declare that you have food. We always declare that we have food products when we carry food.
Which part of my previous reply did you not understand when I say the custom officer allowed me to bring in chocolates?

Don't have to be nasty.

I am just stating what I know for the sake of the OP.

And I'm just sharing my personal experience with OP as well. So I'm still curious why are you so insisting that it cannot be brought in.

as long as there are no dairy in the product. 3 in 1 cannot because it contain some kind of dairy

If just kopi oh then should be ok

Can. No issue.

Because that's the LAW!

http://www.agriculture.gov.au/SiteCollecti...h-factsheet.pdf

I understand that you cannot even bring agriproducts inter state.

Bakwa if made in Sg n is vendor-sealed n labeled then np can bring into Aus. Not simply any package that sendiri stapled on top n written in own handwriting.

If Msia bakwa tak boleh masuk even if declared.

But TS, u going only for 5 months, wtf wan bring Milo n aik cheong? Go try aus milo la

And the asian groceries there berlambak, no need carry such stuff la.

No.
Tried to bring but, the milo ended up in the bin.

We have to declare, that's the law.
But not everything we declare is thrown into the bin. There are many things that are allowed thru the customs as well.

Like I said, my chocolates were fine. Vacuum packed bak kwas were fine too. Of course pandai pandai must have label and everything intact la.

Of course not everything is forbidden.

However, dairy products are not allowed. You were lucky that your chocs were allowed. Maybe they were not milk chocs.

However, if it doubt, just Declare. You won't be wrong to declare

Whoa chill out everyone...
Yes I heard of you can get a lot of Malaysia stuff in Asian Market (they call it HongKong market if Im not wrong)..
But just curious if I can bring in milo...if they want to throw it away then no choice lor...just throw...
Chill out okay...just sharing each other opinions and stories here...
Peace!

If I'm not wrong in Milo ingredient they list contain somekind of skimmed milk..
Aik Cheong has margarine in it...
So...
Well just gonna try I think...

Apasal one migrant and one to be migrant mod opeen fire because of chocolate/milo

If they don't have Aik Cheong (imho, The Best Coffee) in Aust, you're in luck!! Just import ten container loads, and sell them there. You can stop studying and be a millionaire.

If talk is as easy, everyone is already millionaire.

Btw I brought mushroom biscuits and anchovies few days before CNY to Melbourne no problem.

This one at first I don't believe until I heard stories of my Frens ordering from fellow Australia Frens to bring back Malaysia.
Not nougat, not cream. Milo.

I heard really quality

So you got bring milo or not?
He migrant ah? But posting from msia also. Only you posting from Aus now

Actually my family migrated years ago already. I travel more so they used me to bring boxes in every few months.

Anchovies we always bring in no issues.

ayam a kopi person

I think he is, saw him in the Working thread somewhere

how you know, i might still be in KL

Aussie is not exactly that strict from personal experience, they used to be but they actually trust what you have (or have not) declared... if you have a kid, its even easier... declare also they won't check cos definitely you will have food, milk powder, liquid, etc... they just don't want any raw meat, flowers or anything that can affect their agriculture business

Your IP is aus IP ma. Unless you mask your IP la.

Yea, these days not that strict already. But still better to declare and let them take it away than don't declare and get caught.

Yalor then your baby milk powder how? Also dairy product worrr.

No need go so far lah, just accross the crossway, Singapore got jor

Sampai check IP meh

Yeah that's my advice as well, u declare they don't check, it's their problem... I don't declare and they check, Mati katak

No problem with milk powder, anything baby related can pass one

So nice hoh have baby

No la, no need to check also can see. Next to every post is the IP address already.

Nice 👍🏻 if got people help take care even nicer

LYN upgraded Liao ah... so what's my IP address saying?

Not upgraded la. All the while is like that for mods.

How about medicine like panadol, charcoal pill and bao Ji Wan? Need to declare ah?

Yes, but it's not the dairy products they are concerned abt....it's the creamer substitute made from palm oil they will throw. I always send a letter to AQIS asking permission to bring stuff and they will say yes or no. Then on my declaration I write all the things and I will keep AQIS' reply. They will ask me what I have and I will tell them while showing AQIS' letter. Then geleng kepala and scan and ciao.

5. Only thoroughly dried products may be imported.

Coffee

Black roasted coffee beans and ground, roasted coffee is allowed into Australia as part of your personal baggage from any country provided the roasted coffee beans or ground, roasted coffee is free from contamination and infestation."


Armed with the letter, customs do not usually pay too much attention.

Hello all...
Greetings from Australia!!!
Just arrived Melbourne today morning and everything went better than expected...(too smooth..)
I wrote on the arrival form that I have "Medicine" to be declared...
Well the officers saw it and just let me pass through without any officer checking...
Right now I'm in Clayton with my Milo and Aik Cheong Kopi-O..

My friend did tick that he had dairy products (he thought of the creamer inside Milo also)..
When he told officer he's declaring Panadol and Milo, he just let him pass without checking...
I guess they knew that we just miss our Homemade Milo after all..

Monash ah

You go grocery shopping ah, you see Hong Kong supermarket ... last time used to be 1 small shop. Then a few years back they bought their current premise (the former officeworks lot). Those oldfag go back also surprised .

basic rule is declare any edible items... they check, worst case is just bin it...

but if you don't declare and they found out, terus $1k (this was 10 years ago, now i don't know)

traditional herbs is part of the incoming passenger card list of items to declare... if suey suey they picked you, good luck trying to pusing
