TL;DR

The discussion notes that animal products are formally prohibited for import. A small amount for personal use may not attract attention, but bringing a suitcase full of sausage is not recommended.

What the community said

Animal products, including sausage, are described as formally prohibited for import. Check the current customs rules before travelling.

For two or three sticks of sausage in personal luggage, the discussion considers the chance of issues during an inspection to be low, although this does not override the restrictions.

Avoid carrying a large quantity of sausage, such as a whole suitcase full: that amount is more likely to appear as a clear breach of import restrictions.

The discussion also says that delivery-service rules prohibit sending sausage, so shipping it is not a reliable alternative to carrying it personally.
