Sweet swap

[king2005]

One thing to keep in mind is the import/export laws...


I'm interested but it really depends on when the swap takes place as I might be moving soon.

AS far as I know the import & export for Canada to & from the usa on candies & home made foods for a friend or family member (a gift) is fine... There was a food ban going to the usa but that lasted only a few days until SO many complaints came in the usa had to allow the food gifts in.

Yeh, I believe most countries will allow import and export of sweets/foods/candies. Of course, check with your post office and notify them that you have food in the box, but it will not ruin!

If I recall Austrailia has some for of issues with Sugar, along with China & many 3rd world countries.

I know England is fine, but not sure about france.

Lol, I was going to do this after everything was cleared with the gift swap.


I think some countries may have a problem with it. We'll have to research more or ask everyone who wants to participate to ask their mail service about certain food items.

Yes, Australia was actually the one I had in mind but (for all) it's worth a peek into before buying/mailing.

So, do I understand this right? It's suppose to be regional sweets? Hmm... this might take some thinking for me!

My original idea was for it to work like a normal gift swap and for people to swap sweets that are native in your area. Or, candies/sweets that are found easily in your area but rare in others.

Salt water taffy would probably be the only one I can think of at the moment for here.

i would love to join, but i´ll have to ask in the post office since when my sister was in canada we couldnt send food, any kind, so i´ll have to ask, and besides that it´ll take around 3 weeks or the postage will be a lot of $$$ but it´ll get in 5 days, so i´ll think in stuff that lasts.

just a question how much would be the sweet gift of??
