Importing Chocolate from the USA

[docelt]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum and wanted to say hello!

I recently visited New York and wow they have some incredible chocolate brands out there that we don't have at all in the UK.

Does anyone know how/where I can import chocolate from the USA to the UK?

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,
Paul

There a number of USA sweet shops all over UK, maybe you can try one of them to start with.

Which brands are you on  about?

There are lots of Lindt and Godiva products in the USA that you can't get over here in the UK so I'd like to be able to get hold of those products. I cant seem to find any websites that will ship to the UK.

I think you need a special importers' licence to import foodstuffs and I think you can only import products that have been cleared by the Uk regulations that govern things such as additives and colourings. That is why we can't get so many M&M flavours here - because they won't licence the additives that are allowed in the USA.

Totally. Hershey chocolate smells and tastes like vomit.

Get yourself to Fenwicks in Newcastle, huge Godiva selection.
