I don´t know how strict Czech customs are?

See video how strict ours are:


You can just try to "order" some via post, but don´t be sad if you will loose it. :cry:

Don't forget the czech customs don't receive the parcel..
US Airmail get's in to Europe through Schiphol (NL), Frankfurt (GER) or De Gaulle (FR), so the parcels will be checked there.
A german friend of me once lost his parcel at De Gaulle, that he ordered from Columbia.. (no, not white powder.. but somesort of coffee/banana liquor..)
Sure, someone may one day kill me with my own gun.
But they'll have to beat me to death with it because it's empty.

No, they said it was confiscated..

They probably drank it while eating snails, frogs and duck hearts........
Great cuisine there in France........ :roll: :mrgreen:

Cracker,

Hi, Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. If you could do a trade with me for some Dutch 24 hour rations, entree's and the Belgium rations that would be great. Or whatever you could provide. I'm sure if I send some US items over that would not be a problem with getting to you. And same thing with you to me. I really am not worried if something doesn't get through. As long as it is not meat or dairy we are fine. Do you have any idea what you may want from the US?

I will get back to you when I get back from Romania in 3 weeks, I don't know what I have.
The problem is that all rations have meat and dairy in it.

The entrees contain meat (except for the tofu variants) and the 24h boxes contain meatspread, chickenspread and tuna spread.. Powdered milk etc.. :(

But they'll have to beat me to death with it because it's empty.

Hi Brian,

I'm still in Romania, but I'll take the risk sending/getting some meat/dairy
I'd really like to get some MRE or civil Cheesespread with Jalapenos..

And if possible some (vegetable) crackers and chipotle snack breads

I have a (I believe) 2006 EPa (normal one, not the Leicht version) and I will try to get some Dutch ones.
What would you like to trade with what, because I have no clue how to calculate the value of rats

Cracker,

Hi, I have the Jalepeno Cheese Spread and regualr cheese spread in the MRE version, Chipotele Snack Bread I don't have at the moment (that is one rare item), Vegetable crackers I have as well.

If possible I would like to trade for the Dutch rations, I have quite a few German Epa rations that I have not gone through.

Cheers

Cracker

Do you mean the 24h boxes or the cans? or complete sets (24h box+2 cans)
