Full details

Australia allows commercially packaged chocolate in sealed original packaging. Chocolate containing dairy fillings, nuts, or egg-based ingredients may be subject to biosecurity inspection. All food items must be declared on the Incoming Passenger Card. Homemade or unwrapped chocolate is likely to be refused.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Declare chocolate at customs on arrival in Australia and carry any documentation specified in the rule. Verify current requirements with Australian Border Force (ABF) before travel.
