Subject: RE: BS: Secret Santa Sweeties (aka Candy)
Just a little hint - there are different rules for different countries governing what foodstuffs you can post in and what you can't. You may find your malted milk balls going astray in NZ, but perfectly allowable in the USA. You may find little teeth marks in your parcel via some of the more allegedly 'enlightened' areas, especially if it smells very strongly of chocolate, coffee, mint or aniseed - all these scents are used to try to confuse sniffer dogs.

Similarly, you may find if you are trying to post dairy or meat products, some countries will be OK, others will just bin it regardless of what else is enclosed. So that package of Biltong and Roquefort will just have to go to someone else.....
