The Australian Border Force has arrested a man for allegedly attempting to import child pornography into the country.

The 29-year-old Indian man was taken into custody at Melbourne airport after officers found 'several child exploitation videos' on his phone upon his arrival from Brunei on August 25.

He has been charged under the Customs Act and was taken to Melbourne Magistrate's Court.

ABF Regional Commander for Victoria and Tasmania, Craig Palmer, said the ABF will not tolerate attempts to import objectionable and offensive materials.

'Our very strong message to anyone thinking about doing so is that you will be caught, arrested and charged,' he said.

'We are seeing this sort of abhorrent activity regularly, and those involved should know they will face the full force of the law.'

The Indian man appeared in Melbourne Magistrate's Court again on Friday, but made no bail application.

He has been remanded in custody, to re-appear on November 15.
