Is it ok to send chocolate to America? I have family over there who dearly miss good old cadburys and I'd like to send them some for Christmas but not sure on the customs rules?

I've always been a little hazy on the rules, but it seems that customs are only really worried about meat and dairy. Technically Cadbury's is likely to contain dairy... but I'm pretty sure the ingredient is OK. Certainly when flying between the two countries chocolate and snacks have never been an issue... only things like turkey sandwiches!Mortgage | £145,000Unsecured Debt | [strike]£7,000[/strike] £0 Lodgers | |0
