phew! i still lied at customs, i was afraid they'd take it off me. I read the website, but it says for countries affected with BSE it varies and you have to check upon departure. Nice to know i was legal after all....

well, if you lie about it, and you knowingly bring something you shouldn't, it's a 10,000$ fine... a large sum for a bit of cheese
