for the full list of items that must be declared (and most likely will
be confiscated). Basically forget about bringing in any food items,
plants, animal products, seeds, nuts, wood, even airline snacks.

If you fail to declare or dispose of any quarantine items, or make a
false declaration:

- you will be caught;                      
- you could be fined $220 on-the-spot; or                      
- you could be prosecuted and fined more than $60,000 and risk 10 years'
jail.
 
BTW, we welcome all visitors to Australia, especially everyone traveling
to Brisbane for IR7.0 :-)
