As for any food, including fruits and snacks, it must be clearly declared to the customs, otherwise you may be fined, or more seriously, you may be jailed.

In order to cooperate with the fight against and detect money laundering and other serious criminal activities, New Zealand Customs requires passengers to apply for a report of the cash they bring. If the passenger carries more than 10,000 Singapore dollars in cash, he must fill out the "Border Cash Declaration Form". Don't think that "the money is not exposed". You must tell the truth at the customs, otherwise it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The definition of cash only includes coins and banknotes; other items such as travellers' checks, money orders, bonds or cashier's checks do not need to be declared.

If you are unsure about anything when passing through customs, you should go through the red channel and undergo inspection by quarantine officials.
