You can not bring the crayfish (or any meat or dairy products)

Make sure leaves or seeds are identified so not to be stopped for drugs!!!!!

See extract from regulation below.

What are the rules on bringing back food from a country outside the EU?

You can bring back reasonable quantities of food that does not contain anything of animal origin. For large amounts, if it is considered to be for commercial purposes then it may be subject to checks by the port health authorities at the point of import.

Personal imports of fruit and raw vegetables from outside the EU may be subject to a limit of 2kg due to plant health restrictions. For information on what fruits and vegetables are restricted and which are not restricted, see the searchable Imports Rules section on Defra's website. Also, personal imports of potatoes from non-EU countries are not permitted. For information about importing plants see the Plant Health section of the Defra website.

Some food products of non-animal origin are currently restricted for import to the EU for commercial purposes. Whilst these products can be brought in for personal use, travellers need to be aware of any health risks that such products may cause due to possible contamination. See a list of restricted products.

Personal imports of meat, meat products, milk and milk products are not allowed from non-EU countries,

Tanx a lot! What do u mean by identifying d plants? Who ll identify d plant? How?

All I am saying is that when you go through British customs be ready to explain what you have and what it is for.
A bag of herbs may look like drugs!!!
What town are you visiting?
In most towns you can buy african spices and food if you know where.
Be honest, be ready for dogs smelling luggage for drugs.
Your bags WILL be checked before you see them at British airport.
If they find anything you will be FULLY exammined & detained.

Ok, I understand now! Thanks a lot. God bless u!

You are allowed to bring in crayfish or dried fish up to 20kg.Meat or dairy product in any form is not allowed.You should be fine with the rest especially the liquids,if you pack them in your main luggage.Make sure you have enough money to settle those thieves at Lagos Airport.Cheers.

There is already all sort of troubles involved in being a first time traveller how much more when you are bringing all these suspicious concoctions with you.
So, as a first time traveller, doesn't common sense warn you of the danger involved in giving Immigration or Custom officers the chance to ask you questions?
If you declared the items, you would be subjected to chain questions and thorough examinations (by quarantine officers). . , the reconsideration of your visa is very possible. But if you do not declare them, you would face hell of troubles with huge fines and possible stoppage. Either of these processes could take up to 12 hours if not a whole day to resolve and you would be locked up in the "holding room" while they determine your case.
Now, using your own initiative, you should know that when you give the UK authority the chance to question you about the items you're carrying with you, you increase the risk of stoppage and deportation because, they might find other reasons to cancel your visa. Is that what you want?

You are allowed to carry everything you listed above, but those cosmetic items over 100ml would have to go in your checked luggage otherwise it will be seized if found in your hand luggage.


You are allowed to carry 20kg of fish like someone already mentioned, not meat oh, but please biko restrict it to around 2kg abeg, and don't carry the maximum lest they think you are going to sell it, thereby contravening the terms and condition of your visa and revoke your visa and deport you


Even those officials are going to fleece your pocket with those 2 kilos as they are fond of playing on people's ignorance by lying that you are not allowed to carry fish in order to extract higher bribes from unsuspecting travellers. And these people bribe them then start thanking God that they were allowed to carry the contraband fish, unbeknown to them that it was not on the banned list
