Australian customs inform of seizures?
Came through Sydney. Bag search, found some wood (I had thought OK because fully encased in epoxy), sent on way.
Get home, 2 supplements (algae pills, a herb for blocking sugar) both gone, no note given.
Came from Bali and to be honest I'm not surprised.
Shouldn't they let me know?
I guess I can claim on insurance for the loss... And assume it must have gone at the Bali side... Just a bit wierd they take only the food.
Edit : (airport helpline is a switchboard of waiting and people with no clue)

Likely the disappearance happened in Bali - but not sure if it was theft or a customs seizure (prohibited export).
