hmmm ... you don't have a company yet so it's a personal import.

Looking at the Defra site here it would appear that you are not allowed to import Beef Jerky.

To quote:

Import Rule : You cannot bring back any of these products to the UK.

(that's searching for a source country of USA, Meat Products, Beef Jerky).

Hence they will take your overpriced "samples" away and beat you with a big stick, i.e. It is illegal to bring in banned products, or amounts of products that exceed any weight limits that apply. They will be seized and destroyed, and you may be liable to prosecution.

You're not supposed to talk about that ... the Human Rights people may get angry if they found out about the rubber hoses

Yep, not bothering me. I don't even read the threads anymore, just the opening post. Purely for the lulz.

Beef and Stilton pasties are yummy, I wonder if there is a market of a beef and Stilton smoothy?

Just read this whole thread, i love it! Not the best dvdbunny thread but still good.

Why would anyone import beed jerky? it makes no sense :confused:

I imagine in his next few posts we will be told that was a lie just to shut us all up.
