Sorry if it has been asked before but are there any restrictions on:
A Food products ( apart from the obvious )
B Specifically food products which may contain a small amount of dried pork
C what are the typical reactions at customs if a product which contains pork ( I am not talking packs of bacon ) rather prepacked food which has some pork part in it.
D any restictions on fresh produce
E Any duty to be paid for golf equipment

Thanks in advance

No pork. At all. No matter how small.

I don't know about duties, but we do implement a strict shoot on site for any smugglers (joking of course)

They will probably confiscate anything with pork in it ( that is if they even check for that stuff)

I don't know about any other stuff
