Hello
My thoughts are....I'm not really sure about that one, sending them etc. Suppose you could try sending a small box full(shoe box) first and see how it goes.
You can buy vacume bags from any Chinese shop for a few quid. You need a hoover to get the air out. I use them for packing my clothes in the suitcase.
Good luck with that 👍
Sue 😘

I'm not sure but might be subject to phytosanitary inspection upon arrival in UK.
The regulations around foodstuffs being exported between the EU and the UK has stepped up to a level where lorry drivers have had their sandwiches confiscated.I found this but you've probably seen the same. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/importing-plants-fruit-vegetables-or-plant-material-to-the-uk
Let us know if you decide to do it, it's be intersting to hear how you go on.

Yes Killjoy ;-)...same thought process. The UK supermarkets have their supply chain which is 'clean' / bug free....
Stay well ;-)

Thanks Paul ;-) ...yes interesting times. The UK supermarkets have bridged this otherwise they wouldn't be selling imported nuts or fruit. Will post as I discover.
Stay well!
