Mngo & Dodhina,
Milo & Horicks are ok as long as they're not manufactured in Malaysia. So juz chkout the labelling during purchase. I brought Horlicks along too during our trip last year last & there's no prob
Here's a copy of their email reply for ur reference. I've emailed them last yr abt bringing in Horlicks into Oz:
===================================================
Thank you for your further enquiry about bringing Horlicks to Australia .
As the commercial labelling on your Horlicks states that the product has been manufactured in England , the Horlicks will be allowed into Australia as part of your personal baggage provided the product is also free from infestation and contamination. The United Kingdom is currently listed by the Office International des Epizooties (OIE) as free from Foot and Mouth Disease. Please remember that you must declare all items of food, animal or plant origin on your Incoming Passenger Card for inspection by an Australian Quarantine Inspector on your arrival in Australia . 'Food' refers to anything you can consume and will include the Horlicks.
It is the country of manufacture stated on the commercial labelling that determines if a dairy product will be allowed into Australia as part of your personal baggage. Your Horlicks will be allowed into Australia as part of your personal baggage as the commercial labelling states that the product has been manufactured in England (the United Kingdom ) and only packed in Malaysia , not manufactured in Malaysia .
If the commercial labelling on the Horlicks stated instead that the product had been manufactured in Malaysia , the product would not be allowed into Australia as part of your personal baggage, unless accompanied by an AQIS Import Permit. Dairy products from countries such as Malaysia, that are listed by the OIE as having only specific zones within the country that are free from Foot and Mouth Disease, are not allowed into Australia as part of your personal baggage and must be re-exported or destroyed, unless accompanied by an AQIS Import Permit. Only dairy products that have been manufactured in countries that are listed by the OIE as completely free from Foot and Mouth Disease are allowed into Australia as part of your personal baggage without an Import Permit.
