I'm going to Sydney for a conference for a couple of weeks this year. Can I take my own protein powder with me or will customs swoop on me? Thanks :?

I would suggest that you buy small tub of protein when you are in Sydney just to be on the safe side thinghs.

Thinking the same thing - of taking a 2lb tub over. There's plenty of GNC stores everywhere if you have to get some there. Bought some from GNC last time and brought the remainder back with me.

If you really wanted to take NZ protein with you, make sure it's a factory container with the tamper-proof seal intact - random bags o'powder, or opened containers, would prob be a bit suspicious..and pack them in your luggage, not your carry-on bags.

But, with GNC and other health food shops carrying brands of protein, and even supermarkets carrying it, you should find it readily available over there.

You should be Ok if it's not a fine white powder like creatine. And especially if it smells e.g chocolate or strawberry.

Thanks heaps for that advice. Appreciated.

Premix drinks travel well. Heading to Rarotonga I took a box (nearly my baggage weight allowance) with me. Had no problems getting through.

I would say no. most food products, unless they are sealed are banned from moving between NZ and Australia. are exceptions such as meat products, and honey, they can never be shited
