Can I sent that in a care package? leftover 07-26-2007, 11:30 PM Don't list it on the customs form as tobacco.. List it as "herbal supplement" or "coffin nails".. Angela P. 07-26-2007, 11:32 PM You don't have to list everything. Just most of everything. Angela P. 07-26-2007, 11:33 PM And when it ask how much is everything or what not...always put down more then what it is! CAmom4721 07-26-2007, 11:50 PM I sent pipe tobacco and listed it as pipe tobacco on the customs form and we didn't have any problems with it getting to him. :dunno Angela P. 07-26-2007, 11:53 PM I sent pipe tobacco and listed it as pipe tobacco on the customs form and we didn't have any problems with it getting to him. :dunno I think some Post Offices are :screwy. B/c I never had a problem in J-ville but they gave me hell here in Austin.:puzz Pheather 07-26-2007, 11:53 PM I was told you could send it. I sent Dh "It's A Girl" cigars and I listed it on the customs form without any problems. CAmom4721 07-27-2007, 12:21 AM Yeah, I send cigars nonstop because dh is a big cigar smoker and I always list em np. I agree Angela, I think it does depend on the post office. The one I go to here is great, but there is another one in town where they are completely ridiculous when it comes to APO's and customs and all that. mrsjones0520 07-27-2007, 12:26 AM I don't go into detail on the customs forms-I was always told not to. I'll but stuff like, books, clothes, photos, ect. and I never have any problems. I send DH dip every month or so and I've never had any problems. I do know that you shouldn't list anything of value(camera,ect). DH said that after the packages get in country, they have a likleyhood of being opened and stolen before they get him. It happened to him while he was in Iraq and it's already happened to some of the guys he's with iin Afghanistan. I've always been really general on all the customs forms and I've never had any problems with it misty*nicole 07-27-2007, 12:40 AM I've sent a roll of Copenhagen in every single package that I sent DF... and it always made it there to him. I never listed it on the custom forms. We just packed it in a Pringles can and just put "Pringles" on the form!

We just packed it in a Pringles can and just put "Pringles" on the form! Thats a good idea... I thought about putting carton of ciggs in there, and then listing it as a book or something leftover 07-27-2007, 06:10 PM I don't go into detail on the customs forms-I was always told not to.
