Hi just wondering if anyone knows what am I allowed to send to oz. Is there a restriction on liquids.

If your username is Zippy as in Zippo lighters you may have to give us more information about what kind of liquids you're talking about, are they flammable?

Liquids probably will be stopped. The rest is fine, but coffee??

The official word from Auspost

And from DAFF, biosecurity wise

To be honest, hair, shower gels etc are a waste of money to post, when you weigh them they will be $$ and will need to be leak proofed. Perfume is not allowed. Pretty sure they (gels) are not subject to 100ml limit but I'd omit them.

Confectionary fine but will get bashed if not packed carefully. Couple of times I've received sawdust for Tayto in a padded envelope. Chocolate often goes wonky especially sending it here in warmer months... it discolours, melts and hardens in a totally different shape.

Tea will be opened by biosecurity but goes through fine. Obviously you need to detail everything on front of the box, on a customs declaration or make your own list, sometimes Irish postal staff are a bit slack about this.
Coffee ? You can get some of the best coffee in the world in cities like Melbourne and Sydney. Do not post unless it's coming from your own personal coffee plantation over there.
