Articles prohibited from entering or leaving the country
People who often go abroad should know that raw meat, fresh fruit and plant seeds are not allowed to enter or leave the country at will.
But you know what! High energy warning ahead! Your zongzi may also be banned from entering the country!
1. Why is it forbidden to bring or mail zongzi into the country? Which areas prohibit the entry of zongzi?
Because! Some zongzi contain meat and poultry ingredients, which may lead to the spread of epidemic diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease and bird flu, and there is a risk of deterioration in long-distance and long-term transportation.
In order to prevent animal and plant epidemics and the invasion of pests, various countries and regions have strict inspection and quarantine regulations on imported goods.
(1) China.
According to announcementNo. 17 12 in the Catalogue of Animals and Plants and Their Products Prohibited from Being Brought and Mailed into People's Republic of China (PRC) issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, zongzi containing meat and egg yolk cannot be brought and mailed into China. Unquarantined meat stuffing jiaozi and egg yolk jiaozi are at risk of carrying quarantine diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease and bird flu.
As we all know, many articles carried from one country to another need inspection and quarantine, in order to prevent viruses and harmful species, infringement and smuggled articles from flowing in.
At the same time, it should be noted that not only meat zongzi, but also raw zongzi containing all kinds of beans are also at risk of carrying pests and diseases, and have reproductive ability. It is forbidden to bring or mail them into the country.
② Abroad.
Countries and regions that explicitly prohibit bringing and mailing all kinds of zongzi into the country include Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, Denmark, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Hungary, Belgium, Uruguay, Czech Republic, South Korea and Taiwan Province Province of China.
It is forbidden to bring or mail zongzi containing meat stuffing and egg yolk into the country-Australia, New Zealand, Britain, the United States, Canada and Japan. It should be noted that Singapore's policy is a bit strange. The state only restricts the entry of Zongzi from Hong Kong, but it can let go of Zongzi from the mainland. So, if you want to go to Singapore, remember not to bring jiaozi made in Hong Kong.
Second, some countries are not allowed to bring foreign goods into the country.
When you officially set foot on a foreign territory, you have to go through the last checkpoint-customs security! This can't be taken lightly, because the luggage in your bag may have contraband!
3. What can't I take when traveling abroad?
When you travel abroad, don't try to pack everything into your suitcase! Be sure to check in advance! So as not to get yourself into trouble.
For example, most countries prohibit pirated books, meat, vegetables, fruits, seeds, medicines, animal specimens and other animal products, so I won't list them here.
I'd like to focus on-which foods China people usually like to eat are generally prohibited from entering the country by many countries? This is closely related to us and must be taken seriously.
roast duck
Beijing roast duck was banned from sale in Britain in 2008 because it was considered that the converter of Beijing roast duck did not meet the safety standards. In fact, the British like Beijing roast duck very much. As a result, both China people and British people in Britain are suffering.
Raw peanuts
All kinds of fruits are prohibited from being brought into the United States. Cooked peanuts can be brought, but raw peanuts can't be brought. Condiments with obvious smell such as peppers are also not allowed to enter the country.
mango
The European Union banned the import of mangoes into their country, for one thing, to ensure that the fruits in their country can be sold, and for another, because the food in China is cheaper, and if imported into their supermarkets, it will definitely hinder the sales of fruits in their country, so they banned the import of such foods into their territory.
Hotpot soup base
Why can't you even bring hot pot bottom material? Passengers from Chicago shared her story-the reason is the ingredient list behind the hot pot ingredients. This kind of chicken powder is considered by the customs as "an animal ingredient" and needs to be declared, otherwise it is strictly forbidden to enter the country.
Bird's nest, snake gall, velvet antler
Precious Chinese herbal medicines such as snake gall, leopard bone and tiger skin are protected animals and are strictly prohibited from being brought into the United States. Parasitic plants such as dodder and Dendrobium are also banned. Similarly, most items such as bird's nest and velvet antler are not allowed to be brought into the United States.
Hairy crabs and eggs
Seafood can be brought into America raw and cooked, but hairy crabs can't. Whether raw or cooked, the internal organs of animals are not allowed to be brought into the United States, and so are eggs.
instant noodle
Since 2009, it has been forbidden to bring instant noodles into Britain. If you want to take instant noodles to travel to Britain, you have to give up and buy them at home.
Chewing gum
If you go to Singapore, you must not bring this ordinary snack, because chewing gum has been banned in Singapore for a long time, because "environmental protection comes first".
honey
If you want to bring honey to New Zealand, you must declare it, because it may be prohibited.
Because New Zealand's economy is dominated by agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry, any entry of pests and diseases will pose a serious threat to its economy. Animal and plant products, including seed Chinese medicine, must undergo strict inspection. Therefore, it is recommended to declare truthfully any articles that are uncertain about whether they can enter the country.
Fake a goods
If counterfeit goods are brought into Japan without declaration, they will be forcibly confiscated and fined after being detected by the customs, and those with serious circumstances will be regarded as criminal acts.
Drugs and chemical reagents
If you need to bring prescription drugs into the country, you need to confirm that the drugs have clear certification, and the drugs must have original labels, instructions for use and prescriptions. If not, you should bring a copy of the prescription or a doctor's certificate.
4. What can't enter the country after you come back from traveling abroad?
It is difficult to return to China. You may want to take all kinds of foreign souvenirs back as treasures, right? I want to remind you here-never buy souvenirs indiscriminately, because they are probably contraband. ........
Let me give you a few examples. China people often bring back souvenirs, but they are contraband ~ See if you have been shot?
