H.M. custom
Sydney, AUSTRÀLIA 2023
H.M. Customs in Sydney, Australia, refers to the government service responsible for managing the country’s border security and integrity. Historically, the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service was the agency tasked with facilitating the legitimate movement of international travelers and goods, while safeguarding Australia's security and commercial interests.
Customs officers at airports and seaports had the authority to inspect and search passengers' luggage, controlling the import and export of goods, especially prohibited or restricted items like drugs and weapons. They also worked with the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service to manage biological risk materials.
In 2015, the functions of this agency were absorbed by the Australian Border Force, which now handles customs and border protection operations across the country.
Upon arrival in Australia, travelers must complete an Incoming Passenger Card, declaring items that may be subject to restrictions or prohibitions. Customs officers may carry out inspections and use trained dogs to detect illegal drugs or undeclared imports. Certain items, such as food, plants, and large amounts of cash, must be declared to avoid penalties.
