A rather strange post perhaps.... However since Brexit due to new Import controls as UK is no longer within the EU so a TCN. Many I know have friends they post things to them over the Winter here and are always welcomed. However even my plastic bottle tops are now under this new criteria. So when sending anything over, please apply and make a Customs declaration at the Post Office in UK and show on the envelope it is a gift and under the worth of 20 euros. Otherwise everything is now liable for import tax and VAT so what you send as a gesture may cost the recipient more then the worth of the package, payable then here. Small packages less then 20 euros declared and cards are OK.
I believe foodstuffs are no longer acceptable via the Post..........
