Default Mailing food to France

Hello:

Forgive me if this is not the proper forum for this question.

I have a pen pal in France and I would like to send her some homemade summer
sausage. Would I be violating any customs laws? It is a dried and cured
sausage that does not spoil and does not need refrigeration. Is this
possible, or am I getting into trouble? If it is possible, what would be te
best method to ship it?

Thanks for all replies.

Don

There are rules about sending agricultural products, and with the recent BSE
scare, beef (if it is beef) might be especially hard to ship. The fact that
it is unlabeled by a known manufacturer might make it even harder. You need
to consult with the French embassy or a consulate and ask for info. Or else
a customs broker might be able to tell you what was involved.
