We have loads of tools, some are quite rusty like spanners, etc. We want to keep them, but wonder whether each tool needs to have any rust taken off so we can ship them?

Any views or experience would be greatly received.

I thought i had everything spotless, but they still stopped my

Christmas Decorations

I think that they stopped the clubs as they were worth around £2000 and they knew i would pay anything to get them back

All they did was swap the head covers around to make it look like they had been cleaned

Thanks for the reply. Did you have to pay fumigation costs for that then?

Scrub everything then paint it all with hammerite. I have read thats what other peeps have done and that does the trick.

what was wrong with your christmas decorations?

The O'Neills

You're not allowed anything with pine cones as they still contain the seeds.

Dunno about the rest of them tho'

I had my tent and mountain bike shipped. I washed the tyres down then hung the tent up and scrubbed the bottom of it.

No problems

I don't think customs actually checked. The bike was intensively bubblewrapped. it didn't look like anybody had paid any attention to it.
