back knives in his booked luggage. He has a lady at the Ubud markets that he has been buying knives from for a couple of years. He bought 2 kilos of vanilla beans (together with his girlfriend as you are allowed 1 kilo each) back with him last trip arriving at Brisbane airport. Just make sure that you declare at customs/quarantine and all will be good. I have bought back vanilla beans and various food items for many years now but come home via Sydney airport.
