The latest entry ban, what you need to know when going abroad during the Spring Festival: What can't you take when traveling abroad?

You can't take these things with you when traveling abroad

Fruit, cold medicine, egg yolk pie, instant noodles ... these items that can be bought at any time in supermarkets and pharmacies may be stopped from entering other countries.

When interviewing several travel agencies in Shenyang yesterday, the reporter learned that the case of being fined for carrying fake brand names has not appeared in the Shenyang team, but there are often some unsuspecting tourists who are seized at foreign customs because of some seemingly ordinary items. In order to avoid unnecessary property losses, the reporter interviewed Yan Dong, manager of Europe, America and Australia Department of Liaoning International Business Travel Agency, who introduced in detail the "forbidden zones" for entry and exit of various countries.

Bringing fruit into Australia can be fined up to $3,000.

Outbound destination: Australia, New Zealand

Forbidden area: apples and other fruits

Yan Dong said that when entering or leaving the country, all fresh fruits should not be brought in or taken out casually because of inspection and quarantine problems. Many tourists like to take some fruit to quench their thirst when traveling. Some guests also like to put an orange or an apple in their travelling bag, which means "good luck" and "peace". But once you get to your destination, you have to throw away all these fruits. Because in some countries' airports, dogs responsible for checking things have a keen sense of smell, especially for apples. Some tourists brought fruit in their bags and were caught by dogs.

Countries such as Australia and New Zealand are particularly strict about the inspection of imported goods. Bringing fruit into Australia will not only be confiscated, but also be fined according to the weight, with a maximum fine of $3,000.

You can only take one bottle of spirits.

Outbound destination: European countries, Singapore

Forbidden area: tobacco, alcohol.

Due to the high prices of alcohol and cigarettes in European countries, some tourists who travel abroad often bring their own. European countries and countries such as Singapore have strict inspections on tobacco and alcohol brought into the country by tourists. To go to Europe, a person can only take 200 cigarettes and 1 liter of spirits, and only one bottle.

There are also regulations on the amount of money to take abroad. Yan Dong said that at present, the currency carried by China Customs cannot exceed 2,000 US dollars. "If tourists need to spend money, they can use bank cards and credit cards." Yan Dong said that it is very convenient for tourists to swipe their cards abroad now: in some Southeast Asian regions and Singapore, Matai, Hong Kong and Macao, they can directly use China UnionPay cards.

Egg yolk pie and egg yolk moon cakes are not allowed.

Exit destination: Australia

Forbidden area: egg yolk pie, egg yolk moon cake

Egg yolk pie, instant noodles, homemade food ... Many tourists go abroad, worried that they are not used to it, and like to pack their own food in their luggage, but they are often stopped by the customs of other countries. Mr. Li told reporters that once he traveled to Australia, he put a box of instant noodles in his luggage. When he passed the customs inspection in Australia, the staff opened the instant noodles and took out the meat sauce bag and returned it.

Australian Customs prohibits tourists from bringing any dairy products, egg products and meat products into the country, except dairy products produced in New Zealand. Egg yolk pie, a common food in China, is often seized because it contains egg yolk. Mooncake stuffing can't have egg stuffing.

"If tourists have to bring food, only vacuum-packed ones can pass." Yan Dong said so.

Take medicine in moderation.

Outbound destination: Australia, New Zealand

Forbidden area: Chinese herbal medicine, Contek

Many citizens travel abroad with some medicines to a certain extent, and some citizens accidentally bump into other people's "forbidden zones". Not only drugs are confiscated, but also fines are paid, because many countries have strict regulations on drugs. In Australia and New Zealand, tourists are not allowed to bring Chinese herbal medicine, and the dosage of western medicine should be calculated according to the length of stay. Visitors who really need to bring more must remember to bring a doctor's prescription for inspection when entering the country.

Earlier, the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China also issued a reminder that many China students and their parents had been seized, prosecuted, detained and sentenced by New Zealand authorities for carrying or entrusting domestic relatives and friends to mail a large number of "Contac" and "New Contac" drugs into New Zealand. Therefore, travel agencies advise tourists to bring medicines in moderation.

It may also be illegal to take shells out of the country.

Outbound destination: South Africa, Kenya and other African countries.

Forbidden area: hides and specimens.

When you leave some countries, don't take other people's specialties at will. A tour guide told reporters that once a group went to South Africa and Kenya, several tourists bought ivory products, small animal specimens and several pieces of skins, and wanted to take them back to China as gifts for relatives and friends, but they were in trouble when they left the country. These items were not only confiscated, but also fined nearly $500. It turns out that Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia and other countries prohibit the fur, specimens and ivory of endangered wild protected animals from leaving the country.

In addition, seashells in Maldives are not allowed to leave the country; Sea coconut is the national treasure of Seychelles and is not allowed to be taken out of the country.
