A Chinese couple who entered Australia were stopped on the spot because of a rice cooker! They opened it and shocked everyone

Something bad happened to the rice cooker

It’s all these inside

The Australian customs program Border Security has updated a lot of content, including a video related to Chinese immigrants.

A Chinese couple was suddenly discovered by the scanner when they entered Australia.There seemed to be something wrong with their luggage and they were stopped on the spot.

The luggage seemed normal, but one of the rice cookers caught the staff’s attention.

Sure enough, when they were asked to check their luggage, the couple began to look nervous. But when the staff asked again whether they were bringing prohibited items into the country, the two remained silent.

In this way, their luggage was opened, and the most important thing to observe was the very suspicious rice cooker.

As soon as the lid is opened, a bag full of ginger is clearly visible inside.

Obviously, this was something that was strictly prohibited from being brought into Australia, but the couple had hidden it in their luggage.

And ginger was just the beginning. Inside the rice cooker, the staff found more prohibited items.

Too many cigarettes and prohibited drugs…

When the staff found out this, the two people’s expressions were visibly panicked. It was obvious that they also knew the punishment mechanism of Australian Customs.

However, knowing that Australian customs inspections are strict and many items are prohibited from being brought into the country, they still take chances.

Eventually, their belongings were found one by one by the staff from the suitcase.

It turned out that they not only hid some prohibited items in the rice cooker, but also placed various prohibited foods in every corner of their luggage.

The most puzzling thing is that the two people carried a large amount of ginger. They may know that ginger is expensive in Australia.

The most puzzling thing for the customs staff was that they found a large number of blank entry declaration cards on the two people, some in Chinese and some in English. They didn’t know why they took these entry cards.

After statistics,The two brought a lot of food that needed to be clearly declared into the country, and they also brought a lot more cigarettes than the limit.

But because this entry occurred before Australia’s biosecurity laws were upgraded, the final penalty the two faced was a fine of A$360 and a smuggling tax of A$286. The total fine was A$646.11.

If it were the current situation after the upgrade of biosecurity laws, the penalties they would face might be thousands of Australian dollars, and it is more likely that their visas would be revoked and deported immediately.
