An Australian woman flying from Singapore back to her home country forgot to declare a Subway sandwich at customs after landing. The mistake cost her 2,664 Australian dollars, she said, the equivalent of $1,840.

Jessica Lee, a 19-year-old model from Perth, detailed her sandwich snafu in a TikTok video that went viral, garnering more than 1.5 million views as of Wednesday. Lee said she traveled to Singapore for a vacation, but was hungry on the way to the airport on the return leg home. She said she bought a Subway sandwich, ate half of it, then stowed the rest in her bag during the flight.

Lee admitted that not claiming the sandwich was her mistake, but explained that she didn't fully understand the customs guidelines.
