[Idyllchat] Mailing pecans to Switzerland

[Ronnie B. Peters]

I have never attempted to mail pecans, but on at least 3 occasions--including this past August--I took 2 large bags of shelled pecans (bought at Costco) to the landlady where we were staying and had no difficulty.  I usually pack them in my checked luggage, but at least once I left them in my carry-on and plainly showed them at security.  This does make a nice gift since they do lots of baking and I have not seen many packages of shelled nuts in stores there.

  Mailing pecans to Switzerland


    We would like to send our Swiss Heartland host and hostess some shelled Texas pecans as a gift.  We know some agricultural products aren't allowed into other countries.  Does anyone know if it's "legal" to mail pecans to Switzerland?
