Stupid question time

[KIWI DAVE]

Currenty in Vietnam heading to LOS in 2 days, more a question for aussies who know how perdantic aussie custom control is I think I already know answer so here goes I seen 1 of them bottles of alcohole with the dead cobra and scorpian inside and thinking how good that would look sitting on my bar at home, what would be the chances of getting that into the country or are there rules against importing dead faurna, or just take my chances and declare it and see what happens

This may sound strange.....but.....after having watched many episodes of "Border Security"........I would say that if customs see any dead fauna in your luggage.......they'll confiscate it.
Whether that be because it's against our laws to import an endangered species or for quarantine reasons.

I think shez hit the nail on the head .you would have a better chance of bringing a live snake wrapped around your belly..very strict no leeway I think.the beagles will have ya!

Not the same thing, but this thread reminded me of one from the past.

Kiwi, it seems to me you are asking if Australian Quarantine would have a problem with you bringing a couple of dead animals suspended in an unknown liquid into Australia with you?

In the interests of maintaining cross Tasman relationships where they belong my advice is, "She'll be right mate, wouldn't even bother to declare em."

Enjoy.

Reminded me of an old joke....

2 women go on holiday without their husbands and on the last day decide to go their own ways to get presents for their men...

On meeting back at the hotel they discuss the gifts they bought...

Well, says one of the ladies, i bought my husband a snake...

No! replies her friend.... how do intend to get that through customs

Well i'll put it round my neck, cover it with some nice material and disguise it as a nice scarf....

Ok, good idea, replies the friend.....Well i bought my husband a skunk

No! replies the friend.... and how the hell do you think you'll get that through customs?

Well its only a small skunk so i'll hide it in my knickers, they'll never look there...

Ok good idea, replies the friend, but what about the smell !!

Friend replies, Well if it dies it dies !!!!

Good old border security, I decided in 1 of my few sober moments not to try and bring back to Australia, I gave the bottle to a friend who runs a bar in Patong who proudly displayed it atop her beer fridge, until 3 days later the MIB confiscated the bottle and fined her 3500 baht, so I think its even illegal to bring back to Thailand
