Travelling by plane is considered convenient. But there are many rules and regulations about which if you are not aware, you can get into trouble. This is what happened with a person. This person from Indonesia was going from Hong Kong to Taiwan. He kept such a thing in his lunchbox that he was caught as soon as he landed at the airport. As soon as the officials saw it, they immediately imposed a fine of Rs 5 lakh on him.
According to the report of South China Morning Post, the passenger did not know that the thing he was carrying was actually banned there. He kept it thinking it was a normal lunch. But as soon as he reached Taipei airport, the custom detector dog sniffed it. He immediately sent an alert to the security officers. When the security forces checked, roasted pork and soy sauce chicken were found in the lunchbox. Pork and soy sauce chicken are banned in Taiwan. No matter where the citizen is, he cannot bring it inside.
failed to pay the fine immediately
When the customs officials saw him, they immediately took him into custody. He was fined 48,430 Hong Kong dollars, or about 5 lakh rupees. According to media reports, this person was not able to pay the fine immediately, so he was immediately sent back to Hong Kong. He was also warned that if he wants to come to Taiwan again, he will have to pay the fine first.
Strict restrictions on meat imports
There is a strict ban on the import of pork in Taiwan since 2018. Because at that time swine fever was spreading and the officials believed that this epidemic spread due to the pork coming from Africa. If someone is found carrying pork, then a fine of Rs 5 lakh is imposed for the first time. If he does such an act again, then this fine can be up to 1 million Taiwanese dollars. An official of Taiwan’s health agency said that if it has come with a passenger by mistake, then it can be thrown in the disposal boxes in front of the immigration control room. This will save them from the fine.
