Bringing food into Qatar
By nzsouthernman •
Hiya,
We may be moving to Qatar in the next couple of months. I'll try to find answers in old queries when I can, please bear with dumb questions with that in mind!
Apart from obvious things like pork, are we able to bring food to Qatar? Specifically, dried food like Malaysian anchovies (ikan bilis) and Chinese Mushrooms. We have a fairly large stock in New Zealand, and don't want to waste it........
What a pity that I'll have to drink the cellar dry before I leave
Cheers, Tom

Just bring the Malaysian variety that has the word "Halal" on it English mixed in with a bunch of Malaysian. The customs guys figure it is turkey bacon or whatever.
there is no such thing as halal pork from malaysia.
attempts to do such a thing will only upset customs :(

I have a friend who;s mom just arrived from France last week, she brought along with her some dried pork sausages and there's no problem to enter here.

Did you get to filled up your supply of other things too? Forgot that you were back to kampung..no wonder didn't see you around. I'm leaving to France in 2 weeks time, will buy a lot of daun kesum and pandan leaves maybe some dried tofu too.
The only nice durian I ever had is from Perak, the very thin layer of the flesh but the taste goodness....

Pork has never proven to be a problem. Just bring the Malaysian variety that has the word "Halal" on it English mixed in with a bunch of Malaysian. The customs guys figure it is turkey bacon or whatever.

ikan bilis & mushroom & others are most welcome. custom here surely will open your boxes - packed them properly.
Hi Tom, ikan bilis here is not the same you can get back in Malaysia, try to bring yours..and some extras for me too...

this thing you can find in doha easily. but this items is not forbiden so go ahead wrap it up and bring it with you. (unless is pork and alcohol) the rest is okay to bring.
Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.
