When will I need to go through the RED Channel?...
You must go through the RED point or the RED channel and declare your goods, if they:
- exceed your duty-free allowance limits
- are prohibited or restricted*
- are intended for sale
- include belongings or vehicles which need to be declared (we'll be tackling the issue of importing a vehicle in more detail in our next issue).
*Prohibited goods are those banned completely. They include unlicensed drugs, offensive weapons, indecent/pornographic material, counterfeit and pirated goods, meat, milk and other animal products. Restricted goods are those which you cannot import without authority such as a licence. They include firearms, explosives and ammunition, live animals, endangered species, certain plants and their produce, and radio transmitters. If in doubt, go through the red channel, tell the customs officer what goods you have arrived with and they can advise you whether or not they need to be officially declared.
