Was just wondering if it is O.K for family/friends to post chocolate and sweets etc from the U.K to Oz?

I know airport customs are very strict on these matters, but don't know about Oz post.

If anyone has done this, or had stuff sent, was it allowed?

TIA

Hi, I had my parents send me some cadburys dairy milk chocolate and they sent me 3 large bars. They all arrived safely, but didn't last the week so just ordered some more. We are in Melbourne.

Great news!

Thanks for that

Hi ...my friends in U.K send us Jaffa Cakes and Lancashire Tea...they are examined by customs and we get them just fine...Bindi

Chocolate is fine - Thorntons truffles frequently make the trip tfrom the UK! Just put it in the fridge when it gets here

They are allowed through by customs at the airport, so don't see why not.

Is Marmite allowed through customs? I am thinking of taking quite a few jars with me when I leave!!

Just declare it and it will be fine...

What about dry roasted peanuts? (unless anyone knows where you can get them here)

What are they?

They'll be fine as well, as long as there is a label on the packet saying they are dry roasted peanuts.

If you look on the AQIS website, it tells you which nuts are o.k. and which ones aren't allowed.

While you're at the bar can you get me some pork scratchings?

Hi there

I miss foodie stuff from the UK and get it sent all the time.
I get regular consignments of M&S Gold Tea bags which pass Customs no bother. My sister has just posted me some homemade Scottish tablet- wrapped in greaseproof paper and plastic bags and again no probs. It is like gold to us-we are saving it for Christmas. I have found a local British shop for our Marmite and Helmans cravings.

The only thing that has been a disaster was chocolate sent seamail which arrived all white and disgusting after its journey. It was inedible.
