Is it allowed to bring bottles of fish oil or evening primrose oil capsules through airport security check in carry-on luggage? Is there anyone has this kind of experience?
My friend visiting from Hong Kong wants to claim GST via the TRS scheme and wonder whether this is possible.
Thanks.
if it gets caught, they will definitely take it off from you because it is considered to be 'liquid'.
i wouldn't risk it.
But it's just fish oil.
it has 'liquid' inside the capsule
and they don't care.
if "IT" gets caught…..
sounds fishy to me…
You/your friend need to spend $300 (GST inclusive) or more in the one store and get a single tax invoice. That's a lot of capsules!!!
Why not have them in check-in luggage. Just go to TRS before you check in at the airline counter.
I think TRS is located on level one (arrival)(check their website). Make sure you have plenty of times, sometimes it gets busy there.
The refund only applies to goods you take with you as hand luggage or wear on to the aircraft or ship when you leave the country.
Not necessary. Last year myself and relatives had been to TRS on ground level (arrival) three times. Had the luggage checked and receipts stamped. After that, check the bag in at the airline counter. But you need to claim the refund (the stamped receipt) after you pass the immigration though. It saves you carry somethings that could be too heavy to carry onboard.
Fish oil is fine. I had relies carried to Malaysia for me recently. DId not encounter any problem.
Hi my family carried with them 10x 400 capsule fish oil last time. Did not have a problem :)
