It depends on what the foodstuff are. Fresh fruit is a definite no go, as they worry about bigs and stuff that might come along with it. Usually when I ship anything to another country, I have to fill out a form saying what is in the box, but it didn't need to be too specific - I was allowed to put "gift' once, as I said I wanted it to be a surprise. I sent cookies to Lady's Human when he was stationed in Germany that got through fine, but that was to a military base, so maybe that makes a difference.
