Don't get your mum to label it cookies as it'd probably get searched for food...they have no qualms checking your poo poo.

This x100. They're more likely to open the package if it seems like the contents don't match the declaration.

That said, in all my years of buying crap on eBay, I've had one box opened because it was labelled as containing knives, and certain types of knives aren't allowed in. (Mostly flick knives and spring-loaded ones)

If they do sieze something, you'll usually just receive a letter where you can opt to have the article destroyed, or returned to the sender. Both at your expense, of course.

I had something held for about 12 weeks because it said "Remote Timer" on the package. It was just a thing for my camera but I think customs thought it was a bomb device.

Well yeah, they're generally pretty good, but as with any Government department, there's no shortage of retards.
