Carrying frozen raw meat in checked in baggage

Carrying frozen raw meat in checked in baggage - Flat Lay Photography of Slice of Meat on Top of Chopping Board Sprinkled With Ground Peppercorns

I traveled with Oman air from GOA to Muscat on 20/1/2019.
I had raw meat with me, frozen and packed in a cool box in my checked in luggage.

The Oman air staff did not allow me to carry it, hence I removed it and threw it away.

What are the rules about this? Where can I find these on the Oman air website?



Best Answer

I couldn't find the exact link. But almost all countries prohibit to bring non packaged raw meat (Canned items are usually exempted).

It was better that your goods is just confiscated. Usually it comes with a fine.
