margojacko Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 hi we are visiting our very lucky family who have emigrated to Tasmania. we will be staying for 2 months. Will we be allowed to bring our medication with us in our case ? Will we need a doctors note to say what they are for? Kind regards Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Depends what the medication is. In some parts of the world you can get Marijuana on prescription - but you still won't be allowed to take it in to Australia with or without a Doctor's note (although the note might stop you from being arrested)! If it's normal medication and readily identifiable (e.g. in labled commercial blister packs) you shouldn't have any trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margojacko Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 hi Ken , thanks for the prompt reply. I thought you would all be still in bed a this time. Not into that sort of stuff. We are just old farts with Hypertension & usual creaky joint. While you are still there can I ask another question? Ok my daughter likes Glava a alcoholic drink . I thought I would take her a50 cl bottle in the suite case if I declare it to the customs will I have to pay duty on it & can I put it in the case? Regards margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards margaret It's 4:43pm here so I'm at work (don't ask why I'm on PIO and not working it's not polite). I'm not sure what the exact duty free limit is for Australia but it's definitely a lot more that 50cl. They sell 1.13litre bottles of spirits at the airport duty free. They are strict on food products though so it is possible that Glava isn't allowed in (but I doubt it since the alcohol will likely have killed anything that can germinate).

margojacko Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hi again ken, Glava is a whisky based liqueur 35% volume. soooo delicious. I will declare it but can I put it in my case? Daughter says it is very expensive in oZ. Trying to learn the song "give me home among the gum tree's " So we can sing it with our grandchildren who are learning at School. I love it. Kind regards margaret Ps congratulations to Australia on Winning the rugby on Saturday but my Hubby is sulking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 You can put it in your case. Just make sure you wrap it well in case of breakage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
