Maybe coming from the uk they won't let them in to the eu without a permit of some sort?

You have to sign a declaration stating what's in the parcel and the value. That's always been the case sending mail abroad from the uk. I'll update when it arrives back at my address.

Just checked to see if the seeds had been delivered to steftielemans. They have been with Netherlands customs since 16th Jan, this morning they are back in the uk!

Oh no... I noticed indeed they were at the customs. Are they gonna be returned to your place?

Nulle · Jan 28, 2025

I was just wondering if it had anything to do with the uk not being members of eu anymore. But what do I know....

Looks like Nulle is correct. Packet arrived back here today covered in stickers. Plants and plant material now need a Phytosanitary Certificate :censored:

I removed the stickers, scored out chilli seeds on the declaration and wrote garden supplies instead. I'll post it again but if it doesn't get through it's not looking good.

to go to the Netherlands or anywhere in Europe? maybe you could write spice samples or something similar.

It’s best to be labeled as anything different that plants/seeds/food related. I don’t remember how I labeled them but I usually declare everything as accessories.

I believe a certificate is required if items are leaving uk to anywhwere in the eu. And vice versa. As has been suggested it would be best to label as something else. Lesson learned. I posted the packet again this morning, lets hope it gets through.

Any updates? The tracking number doesn't work for me

ptxae · 2025-02-20T03:07:59-0500

I don't think it's possible to use the same tracking number. There's no movement on the old one.

Deadpouk · 2025-02-20T06:21:35-0500

If you look tracking history last scan yesterday. But still pretty weird

Here's the scanning history. Went from Edinburgh to Heathrow, back to Edinburgh and now back at Heathrow!
