Hi, before Brexit my mother used to send me food parcels, things like OXO cubes, curry powder, chili powder, etc. Thompson's tea bags, which are my favorite. There was never an issue.
In January this year, she sent me another parcel, it contained OXO cubes, beef and lamb, some curry powder, and some chili powder, plus a few chocolate bars.
In March, 2 months later I received a letter telling me that a parcel was being held at customs that contained prohibited items and would be destroyed if I did not send documentation confirming that it was a safe product from a trusted source. I sent a reply, but yesterday 3 months after it was posted from the UK it was delivered back to the UK.
I can buy all of these products in the shops in Spain, so why are they prohibited?
Has anyone else had similar issues?
Brexit is the outcome that just keeps giving :-)
