This sucks.
I have an etsy friend I intended to send a little care package of typically British fare, in the form of an assortment of chocolate bars. However, I have come into difficulties with new licensing laws which stop the import of any foodstuff in to the USA without proper a proper license.
Pants :-(
Now I shall have to come up with something else that is typically British, but not food. Any thoughts?
Edited:
Now wait just a second, we may have found some legislation that makes it ok after all....
I would think that sending a prepackaged box as a gift would be ok. Hope you can figure it out! good luck
ReplyDeletePhew! Glad it's sorted for you and lucky friend
ReplyDeleteHurray
ReplyDeleteGlad you found a loophole--but now I'm craving chocolate! Lucky girl.
ReplyDeleteI know I've sent chocolate to the US with no probs before now.
ReplyDeleteoh, chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI know I've sent it OUT of the US before... maybe I just never started what it was?
So, what's the verdict? Is it ok to send or not... If it's not, another option would be a british flag. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you send chocolate in the summer, depending on WHERE in the US, it might be melted. Seriously...Chocolate melts at 88 degrees. Here it's over 90. HTH!
ReplyDeleteNow that was a close call! :)
