Yum! Someone from Oz sent me a package once with books and Tim Tams! 😀 Thanks for the reminder of a happy memory. Pardon my drool...

Originally posted by pawnhandlerYou can send stuff to us (I'm assuming you're in the US), but the International Postal Authority has prohibited Australia Post from accepting parcels containing food in commercial packaging, without export licence documentation. The excuse given was that US food producers had demanded that the US not accept any food that could be resold in their country. The IPA is obliged to enforce any local regulations provided to it. In the same way, US Post is not permitted to accept parcels containing handguns, if the parcel has an Australian destination. As a Post Office licensee, I had a book of such regulations provided by Australia Post and was obliged to follow them.

So, send me a handgun described on the outside as a box of cookies and I'll send you a packet of Tim Tams described as a handgun .....
