PSA: in vista di Natale le mamme irlandesi dovrebbero prendere nota che non è più possibile inviare bustine di tè, cioccolata o patatine negli Stati Uniti

From the article: “Customers sending gifts – gifts with a value of $100 dollars or less (€85) – there is no change and will continue to be delivered as normal”

Ah jaysus.

Barry’s is fairly readily available in the big cities over here. 

Chocolate… Not a massive deal and the bigger supermarket chains usually have a few bits.

Crisps though. Crisps will be an issue. The place I go to to get Irish stuff is already having a hard enough time paying for stuff, including surprise customs bills. I can see them just stopping the orders instead of dealing with it. The owner is retired and has said she’ll keep it open until the place starts losing them money, regardless of whether the profit is 1c or in the thousands. They’re not going to take risks on items.

Better head down there and hope I can get the Christmas supplies in.
