One part says: " ....cross-border passengers are required to give an oral declaration........., if they have fever or vomiting symptoms, infectious or mental diseases or if they carry micro-organisms, human tissues, biological products, blood or plasma products, animals, plants or their products. I wonder what is the definition of a mental disease? If a person has one and doesn't declare it, can he use mental incapacity as a defence in law????? haha You must declare your cotton shirts and undies as they are plant products. Silk shirts and leather belts are out too as animal products. Will there be a human dip (like a sheep dip) so that we can wash all the micro-organisms off our body?? It's unfair to pick on China, Australia uses equally vague or misleading language, and no doubt most countries do. If you think I'm be silly about this (well I am making a joke of it, I admit) you could be in trouble for not declaring a Chinese wooden or cowhorn comb to the Australian quarrantine inspection.

On entering Australia I usually declare everything, all the wood products and tea, etc. I let the customs guys decide if they can be bothered to have a look. It usually works and I clear customs quickly because the lines for 'goods to declare' is usually shorter than the 'nothing to declare'. My only problem is I sometimes forget where I put things and takes me a while to find them. LOL

Coming into China I declare nothing and have not been asked once to check my luggage but that could change anytime.
