Mine was about £1 from Ikea!

I did :yes

The only problem would be if it had bark on the outside and was sprouting branches and leaves.... :laugh

May be worth declaring it to MAFF but I wouldn't bother, get it in a box labelled "kitchen ware" and leave it at that.

I did declare quite a lot of wooden items like 300+ arrows (me being a field archer) made from Port Orford Cedar and fletched with real feathers... another no-no for importing!!!! But there was no problem with any of it. However, there might have been a big problem if I hadn't declared it and they had "found" it all.

All the declared stuff was loaded last, at the front of the 40-foot container next to the doors and yes, they opened every box that was declared but it all got through with out a problem.

They will also open any boxes labelled "Christmas Decorations" looking for Holly branches, pinecones, old pine needles and other arboreal paraphernalia associated with Christmas….. which I might add, is going to take some getting used to being as it is less than a month off and I am walking round in shorts, t-shirt and sunglasses... and it's getting hotter by the day!!! :)

I brought mine, it just went in with the kitchenware along with some wooden salad bowls, I didn't even think to declare it:o

[Janey]

nor me, i was more worried about wicker hey if I declared everything wooden every box would have to be opened!

Thanks everyone, I thought it would be ok - I'm now at the OMG stage, which means everything is a panic, worry or stress! Much better than being at the nothing happening stage though!

Just take it, no probs there, good luck with the impending move......
