  Oh for fucks sake, does everything have to be explained to the max on here?

  If OP is wanting to post meat back without the hassle of customs then why on earth would they declare it?

  The idea is that OP posts it to the UK without telling anyone the true contents of the parcel so they can enjoy lovely meat when they return…

    Or enjoy a nice hefty fine for badly declared goods when it goes through a scanner and the "clothes and stuff" gets flagged for being meat products.

    Oh and also get the meat confiscated and destroyed.

    Brilliant plan, genius.

      People have been posting stuff for years, how do you think the physical side of the entire dark net marketplaces operate?

      Plus it’s Christmas time, there’s a massive influx of post pretty much worldwide - do you think they’ve got time to scan every single packet that’s dispatched?

      But yeah, wait for a response of gov.uk

      You write “Traditional Hungarian Christmas treats” - no lies.
