Necessary security checks are rare when people are traveling. Two men in New Zealand have been arrested for smuggling KFC because the men intended to smuggle it into a closed area, a serious violation of New Zealand's confinement laws. Auckland is currently under a strict level 4 lockdown, and catering businesses, including takeaway services, are not allowed to open for business.

If the KFC is a smuggled item that is hard to understand, then the next strange smuggled item from the country in question can only be described as "otherworldly".

01, Turkey's ancient coins and stones

In Turkey, foreign tourists are not allowed to take away local stones and ancient coins. Turkey's local law on ancient coins and stones out of the country has a very strict limit, if you disregard the provisions of the law, rashly take the local stone or ancient coins, it is likely to be "smuggling of cultural relics" detention.

Once a tourist bought some stones at a stall in Turkey, but was detained by local customs for "smuggling of cultural relics" when he left the country. The reason was that the stones were considered cultural artifacts and the tourist's behavior was a serious violation of local law.

02, Africa's ivory

Africa's bazaar has a lot of handicrafts, which also attracts some tourists to go to play. The most attractive of these handicrafts is ivory handicrafts, although expensive, but has the value of the collection. However, if you bring ivory in Africa, you could face a life sentence.

According to the latest customs regulations in African countries, smuggling precious animal products worth more than 200,000 yuan or more could result in a life sentence and the seizure of all personal property. You may think you're just collecting handicrafts for a hobby, but this behavior could put you on the brink of danger.

03, Canada's carry-on drugs must have a prescription

Canada's customs can be said to be the world's most stringent customs, there is no one. The media has previously reported that a tourist was fined $200 for bringing a double ham sausage into the country, which was also a shock to the public.

In Canada there are strict legal regulations for medicines. If tourists bring prescription drugs into the country, they must make sure that the drugs have a clear certification, and at the same time the drugs must have instructions for use as well as prescriptions and the most original labels. If none of these are available, then it is more problematic and you need to go to a doctor for a certificate.

In addition to the above list of some of the countries odd "smuggled goods", in fact, in the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries also prohibit tourists from carrying unprocessed fruits and meats, and European countries are not allowed to meat and eggs in and out of the country. I'm not going to give you any examples.

So, when you are traveling, you must do a general understanding of the place you are going to in advance to avoid bringing some unnecessary trouble to yourself.
