User An officer from Border Clearances informed an Investigator in Auckland of a post on a closed Facebook group where a woman was bragging that her grandmother has misled border staff in order to smuggle food items she believed not to be permitted into New Zealand. The food items are mooncakes containing eggs in the centre. Mooncakes with eggs are permitted 1982 into NZ currently if it has been commercially manufactured and packaged, in its original packaging, unopened, does not contain mean and does not require refrigeration. There's also a weight limit of 10kg. You must declare the food item on arrival and they will need to be inspected.
Act The disregard of Biosecurity rules should be dealt with. An article about this was posted on the Herald - https://www.nzherald.co.nz/travel/news/article.cfm?c_id=7&objectid=12258406
