4KG of KAVA

If you have a thing (or love) for Fijian kava (yaqona), you can now take across double the quota to Australia.

Travellers from Fiji can now carry a maximum of 4kg (up from 2kg) of kava, for personal use, into Australia, with the exception of those travelling to Western Australia and the Northern Territory where restrictions are still in place. Kava is a domesticated plant from the pepper family (piper methysticum). The roots of the plant is first pounded into fine powder and then mixed with cold water for consumption. Kava roots and powder is available from municipal markets and instant kava powder packs can be purchased from retail shops and supermarkets across Fiji.
