What cannot be brought into the UK? Can you bring cooked food into the UK?

In fact, there are many things that you cannot bring with you when traveling abroad. Many friends must be concerned about whether it is possible to dispose of some braised chicken feet and beef. In fact, these are all impossible, and you can’t eat many things even if you want to.

: Several steps to follow when entering the UK

1. Immigration inspection

Unless you are changing planes at the airport, please follow the "Arrival" sign; if you If you need to transfer at airports such as London, Frankfurt and Amsterdam, you should follow the 'Transfer' signs to the corresponding airline counter, go through the relevant procedures and wait for the transfer.

"Arrival" will guide you to immigration control;

The immigration office has an electronic display to tell you which channel you should take;

All passengers must go through the designated channel Go through the entry procedures for their flight;

The immigration officer will check whether your documents are complete, whether you have a visa and a valid passport;

After the inspection is correct, the immigration officer will check your passport Stamp the date of entry.

2. Customs inspection

After passing immigration inspection, you can claim your luggage. According to the flight number on the electronic display, your luggage will be on the corresponding conveyor belt (these procedures are the same as for domestic flights). If you notice something unusual about your luggage, please contact your airline's office at the airport immediately.

After baggage claim, the next step is to go through customs inspection. You will see three exits:

1. Blue channel: If you are flying from EU countries, take this channel;

2. Green channel: from China and non-EU areas If you have nothing to declare when flying to the UK, go here;

3. Red Channel: If you have something to declare, please go here.

In most cases, we will take the green channel and not declare!

Sometimes, even if we take the green channel, British Customs staff will conduct random checks on the luggage (ask you if you have meat or something, and then start to look through your bags and boxes.)
