I'll soon be arriving for a 3 day visit, travelling from Thailand. Watching these Border Force type programs in the UK it seems I could be a target for increased customs scrutiny. I won't have anything dodgy, except perhaps a belly full of beer, but what sort of delays should I expect under normal circumstances and also if I'm held for inspection?
99% of people have no issues
Declare any & all food/wood/vegetable matter. Or better still bring nothing. They do have dogs in customs. They have good noses. For flights is Thailand they may have more on duty.
At MEL I am usually landside, with checked bag, 10-15-20 minutes after aircraft door opens using the kiosk for e-passports. But never have been sent for customs bag Xray (usually coming in from NZ).
