Sending catnip toys to another country?

[keith p]

Is it legal to send catnip toys from the United States to Belgium, sending them through the post office?

I wouldn't see why not, it is not a live plant. Send it first class mail, it'll make it.

Not sure, I sent a cat nip toy to america but im not sure if they opened the package first?

You should go to your local post office and ask!

if I recall correctly, someone in australia was sent catnip in the mail and customs confiscated it and destroyed it.

AUstralia is different from Beligum though

it shouldnt matter because it is still plant matter. most countries don't like plant matter going into other countries.

yes this is true, this did happen.

Although I have recieved numerous packages with catnip (both in toys and a tub of catnip) and its always got through even though customs has opened the package.

It really depends on the country and then the customs it goes through.

I know, Australia has stricter rules about cat nip and plant matter oppose to europe.
You should go to your post office and ask them, they are the best to know..

It's best to ask at the P.O.. I've sent (or taken) catnip from the U.S. to the E.U. without any trouble, but the reverse certainly isn't true.
