+mamoreb Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 What are your experiences sending candy from Europe to the USA? I read something about a special registration form having to be submitted in advance, another site says that candy is fine, a third site says all dry food is fine as long as it is declared as gift and sent between private addresses, a fourth site mentioned how everything home made is fine... Should I remove packing and wrap as if home made? Is completely dry stuff best? What about chocolate? I guess I'm not revealing too much, saying that my recipient is in the USA and seems to enjoy candy. Quote

I do believe over here it must be send in the original packing. Quote

+Sivota Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Someone told me just don't send Kinder chocolates, and mark it as a gift on the mail sheet. Kinder chocalates, just means chocolate for children. There is a German brand of chocolate with this name. It's usaly milk chocolate, with a layer of sweet cream inside in nice wraping. We(usually) don't put strange stuff in Kinder chocolate , but it could be this cream that is not approved of. Better not send these chocolates. Just put 'chocolate' on the mail sheet. (You don't have to mention the brands or origens). Quote

+Sivota Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 @MoonCat & KDT; Yep, that is the one. It is better not to send these or other chocolates filled with cream or milkey layers on the inside. Other 'kinder chocolade' will be fine. Quote
+Tonyalynnm Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 The kinder egg toy is very small and is a choking hazard. However if you don't worry about it then please send it on, they are GREAT! We love them. Quote

+Ashallond Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Just a couple of things. Whoever has my name, I enjoy geometric, astronomical, compass coins a lot. I have a 3 year old girl, so if you do any candy, please make it so she can eat it...as she will attack that box when it shows up. Also, I have a First name, but not the last name of my target. I'm not sure if they are on the geocoin address list, but I will check that shortly. Quote
+Degai Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 For those of you in this Easter mission, could you mention where your coin list is or what your preference is? (Thanks Ashallond for the idea) I have a list a utag, but it isn't updated. What I like most are personal coins and anything designed by Chris Mackey. I have a lot of older coins, but not many newer coins, but I'm always happy with whatever anyone sends me. Quote
+MoonCatKDT & Peanut Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I have lists on the link in my signature, But in general, I love any type of navigation coin. I'm just starting out my collection so I don't have much as of right now Anything is great, it's all about the surprise Quote
