You can carry groceries in the luggage compartment, they won’t let you on the plane. And as for what you can carry, it’s better to be more specific about this issue. What would you like to carry?

The customs requirements say that you can not bring meat, fish, poultry and products from them into the UK. Milk and dairy products are also prohibited. And this is exactly what I would like to take with me, in order to save money.

Luggage at the exit at the airport glows. It all depends on the person looking at the screen. If he is interested in the contents, then everything is according to the rules - you can’t import it.
But it is a misconception that you can save a lot on products. On excisable goods - yes, on milk, meat and fish - no.

I bring lard, and red caviar and bread. In the luggage of the plane. And the food for the child in hand luggage, though they are forced by the customs officer to eat and drink it himself, in order to prove that this is not TNT! I mean bite and sip.

What volume ? If you yourself will carry it manually through the plane, everything is in your luggage and nothing in your hand luggage - do not bother! I usually bring at least 3 kg of bacon, champagne, chocolate, 20 cans of red caviar and two packs of cigarettes. I was examined with a Labrador when leaving the airport, so the dog almost went crazy. They let me in quickly so as not to distract the dog from possible real danger or drugs! They didn’t even talk heart to heart with me, but simply asked - Do you have food, probably in a suitcase? I said proudly - Yes! And left. Don't bother, just put everything in your luggage, and pack your luggage in polyethylene at the airport.

Thank you! Already packed everything in a suitcase. And at the airport I will pack it in a film. Now I am calm.

If it's not difficult, upon returning, write, please, about your experience, so that people are not afraid to carry items native to them across the border. The Internet is full of horrors, myths and other people's fears, from Visa issues to customs that need to be debunked!

I am writing from London. There were no problems with the transport of products at the border. We looked through the backpack, in which there were textbooks to order, and saw a piece of fish, did not say anything. And I packed all the products in luggage, which I wrapped on top with a film and it left without question.

This is to be expected - thanks for helping to debunk yet another myth about England and England customs!
