Australian Customs and Border Protection has dealt with several cases involving Chinese citizens attempting to bring child pornography into Australia, according to a report on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China. The pornography was detected in the citizens' personal laptops by Australian Customs officials.

Australia's Customs Act 1901 of the Commonwealth Consolidated Acts makes it illegal to bring child pornography into the country. A violation of that law can lead to the strictest penalty of a 10-year imprisonment and fine of 275,000 Australian dollars.

The Chinese embassy in Australia reminds citizens to comply with Australian laws and not to bring child pornography into the country.
