Buying Hops On Ebay From Europe. Customs Trouble?

[Jimmeh]

Hello all

I've found some nicely priced hops on eBay which are located in the Czech Republic.
They are pellets and are vacuum packed. Does anyone know if I'll have problems with customs?

Cheers

Jim

I am keen to know the go here too. I saw some Sorachi Ace available in the US and thought I'd like to try them.

I just found this, and it looks like good news:

Pellets are not a problem, I import them.

$11.00 postage (Aus), kills the savings. You might as well buy local.
In fact look at Magnum Hops,buy 450gm from Ross and your in front.

I believe Ross buys hops in bulk from all over the world, puts them in shrinks and sells them back to the locals at less than they pay from their own suppliers. I know they are raving about his prices on the UK forums. Talk about coals to Newcastle.

So I could get the Sorachi Ace, but only in pellets.
