| An AK-47 assault rifle or a full-size stuffed polar bear is not likely to be high on most people's overseas holiday shopping lists.'
But they are two of the more extreme examples of the thousands of illegal and prohibited items customs officers seize every year from passengers travelling to Perth.
And with the holiday season about to hit full swing, the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service says it pays to check before you go what you can bring back to avoid any potentially costly and embarrassing delays on your return.
Knuckle dusters, pellet guns, crossbows, flick knives, laser pointers and electric stun guns are items that are readily available in places such as Bali where sales people have been known to assure unwary customers that such items are legal in Australia.
