A recent incident involving actress Navya Nair and a fine at Melbourne Airport for carrying jasmine flowers highlights Australia’s strict biosecurity measures. These measures extend beyond flowers, with a comprehensive list of banned items enforced at all airports. Prohibited items include fresh fruits, vegetables, various food products like sweets and dairy items, and certain medicinal products. Passengers carrying restricted items face having them seized and destroyed, as well as potential fines or other penalties. Travelers are urged to review the regulations prior to travel to ensure compliance with Australian law and avoid unwanted expenses.
