Far as I know you can not send food internationally due to possible contaiminants. So do NOT declare it as food! Then, you just pay the regular postage due on the parcel, which is based on size and weight.
BUT Customs will have sniffer dogs checking for food stuffs. Some gets through, some does not. I've sent stuff to Culture Junky in Wales, and she to me. BUt sometimes the package has been opened by Customs and some foods removed.
It is chancy at best.
It will likely cost more, but to ensure something gets through, purchase it from a supplier who ships international as part of their regular business - in other words do a Google search.
That is my experience!
Oh yes, and My Mum (passed on 17 years ago now) used to try to bring stuff back from England with her when she went on visits back to see her family. Same thing, sometimes it got through, other times she was asked to open the luggage and they would remove stuff.
