Wondering if anyone can help, I've been able to find answers on whether I can take most things to the Netherlands but need some help if any of the below list is allowed for personal consumption (small quantities):

Apple and Orange juice from concentrate
Nutella
Pre-filled packaged crepes
Dried mangoes
Partially rehydrated apricots and figs
Dates

I can't find anything overly Helpful and I called the NVWA but they just sent me a document I already read. This is purely for breakfast at a festival so if we can't it's not the end of the world - we don't have time/possibility with transfers to stop at a supermarket en route.

I imagine for the most part the advice will be the same as the EU but I'm coming up a bit empty with that too.
 
How are you travelling?

I used the Harwich > Hook of Holland ferry last week and took various food items for my first day of cycling, bags nor bike were looked at once.

Also bought various food stuffs back and again there was just one guy standing at the customs checks saying good evening and thats it!

Flying might be a different story however.

The crepes could be iffy, rest should be fine IMO

Yes going to Defqon 1 and I could either use bring or take for what I'm doing with the food :cry:

I'm going to put the crepes on the top of the bag but reckon the rest will be ok! Going via Easyjet and the transfer is via a shared bus so doesn't stop on route. See how it goes.. I'm surprised the information is pretty vague that I've found so far though and thought at least some of you guys are bound to have been to the EU with your sandwiches since Brexit.
 
im gonna go out on a limb and saying everything i ever brought from the uk to sweden has been allowed.

although i brought real food. :p

i cant imagine any of this is a problem in "hold luggage."


EDIT


well apparently i broke the law.... see you in prison.

Fish from Greenland and the Pharoe Islands is good but nothing about if the fish has swum from another country and was caught in transit.
