What strange smuggled goods do countries have?

In the process of people's travel, the necessary security check is essential. Two men in New Zealand were arrested for smuggling KFC because they intended to smuggle KFC into a closed area, which seriously violated New Zealand's confinement law. At present, Auckland is under a strict four-level blockade, and the catering industry, including take-away service, is not allowed to open its doors.

If it is difficult to understand that KFC is smuggled goods, then these strange smuggled goods can only be said to be "different" in the relevant countries.

0 1, ancient coins and stones in Turkey

In Turkey, foreign tourists are not allowed to take away local stones and ancient coins. Local laws in Turkey have strict restrictions on the exit of ancient coins and stones. If you take away local stones or ancient coins in disregard of the law, you are likely to be detained as "smuggling cultural relics".

On one occasion, a tourist bought some stones at a booth in Turkey, but was detained by the local customs on the charge of "smuggling cultural relics" when he left the country for home. The reason is that these stones are considered as cultural relics, and the behavior of tourists seriously violates local laws and regulations.

02. Ivory is in Africa

There are many handicrafts in the African market, which also attracts some tourists to visit. Among these handicrafts, ivory handicrafts are the most attractive. Although they are expensive, they are valuable for collection. However, if you bring ivory in Africa, you may face the risk of being sentenced to the highest "life imprisonment".

According to the latest customs entry and exit regulations of African countries, anyone who smuggles precious animal products worth more than 200,000 yuan can be sentenced to life imprisonment at the highest, and all personal property will be confiscated. Maybe you think you just collect some handicrafts out of hobby, but this behavior may put you on the brink of danger.

03. You must have a prescription to carry drugs in Canada.

Canada's customs can be said to be the strictest in the world, and there is no one. Earlier, it was reported by the media that a tourist was fined 200 yuan for bringing Shuanghui ham sausage into the country, which was equally surprising.

In Canada, there are strict laws and regulations on drugs. When tourists bring prescription drugs into the country, they must ensure that the drugs are clearly certified, and the drugs must have instructions for use, prescriptions and original labels. If these are not available, it will be more troublesome and you need to see a doctor for a certificate.

In addition to some exotic "smuggled goods" listed by the editor above, countries such as the United States and Britain actually prohibit tourists from carrying unprocessed fruits and meat, and Europe does not allow meat products and eggs to enter or leave the country. The editor will give different examples here.

Therefore, when traveling abroad, you must have a general understanding of the places you want to go in advance to avoid bringing yourself some unnecessary troubles.
