way in last year, only we had forgotten to declare these sandalwood coils of incense and boy did we get the 3rd degree, exactly like you said, i was absolutely sh!!!ting myself. We were asked all those serious legal questions, like you, and then I started to get indignant and demand they tell me what it was all about. Said they had found organic matter amongst our belongings, didnt even know what organic matter meant, in customs terms, turned out not only had we forgotten to declare them but they had some straw at the bottom of them, phew, is that all, my god, you guys are pathetic I thought, but then rules are rules. So we will definitely be declaring everything and more on the way home, cause they gave us a first warning on computer so dont want a second one or anything close to it.
