Entry materials
1. Entry card
Before the plane is about to land, the flight attendant will issue an Australian entry card to all passengers. It should be noted here that even if it is filled in on the China Entry Card, it must be filled in English. In addition, the signature on the entry card should be consistent with the signature on the passport.
Reminder: If you don't know whether you need to declare your belongings, you'd better choose "Yes". If you write "no" and it is found out, it will be more troublesome. If you must know, you can also consult the flight attendants.
2. Immigration inspection
At the immigration office, immigration officials will check passports, visas and entry registration cards and ask simple questions, such as "Why did you come to Australia?" "How long are you going to stay?" Wait a minute.
3. Customs
If you have nothing to declare, you will be told to take another passage. However, once you find out what needs to be declared through non-declaration channels, you will be in trouble.
Therefore, it is suggested that as long as you bring things that you can't make up your mind, such as food, medicine, sports equipment, etc. It is best to go through the declaration channel. The declaration does not mean that these things are not allowed to be brought into the country, but that they need to be inspected before being brought into the country.
Reminder: Customs declaration should be honest and don't quarrel with customs officers.
4. medicine
You need to declare all drugs to the customs, including prescription drugs, substitute drugs, herbs and Chinese medicines, vitamins and mineral formulas.
Reminder: It is best to declare all drugs. It is best to prepare relevant English instructions before boarding the plane, or you can find a Chinese interpreter at the airport.
5. Items that can be carried with luggage
Most personal items (except fur and perfume) such as new clothes, shoes and personal hygiene cleaning products can be brought into Australia duty-free through carry-on luggage.

You must confirm your flight information and baggage placement in advance, and wait a little longer. If your luggage is missing, you must contact the airport staff as soon as possible, and so on. After picking up the luggage, the next step is to go through the customs.
Step 3 go through customs
The customs will check your luggage and articles. If you find some illegal articles, the customs will let you go through the corresponding channels. If you fill in the declaration items and take the red channel, the staff will ask you to open all the suitcases for inspection. If you take the green channel without declaring the goods, it means that all the goods have been inspected once, so students must not carry luggage for others when they go through customs.
