APEC Priviliges Inbound to OZ

[wtolmie]

Just a quickie on inbound usage to OZ.. Apart from APEC / Crew lane at passport control, is there any benefit to get through quarantine quicker ? Used to have the express lane pass and if you were lucky and a quarantine offer saw it, they would come stamp you and go through the D lane. .ie no bagscan.. This is my first time back in Sydney since I received my APEC card and wondering if it all stops (benefits) at passport control.

No domestic transfer and 11am arrival from HKG.

Apologies if this is in some other thread.

APEC card only gets you access to the APEC/Crew lane for immigration. No benefits for customs/quarantine.

No official benefits, but I've always found that if I stand at the baggage carousel with my APEC card visible (usually on top of my passport, pressed up against my document wallet which I hold in my hand), I'm more often than not approached and given a D stamp.

Could be a coincidence, but I'm not complaining.

Cheers,

Don't forget if you are inbound in J you should get an ePass.
