Customs restrictions for sending food to France?


I'm trying to find out what I can/can't send to France, but google is coming up with all the wrong kinds of sites, can someone point me to the correct link?

just a minute, i will come back.

I can't suggest any links (other than the official site of French Customs http://www.douane.gouv.fr/menu.asp?id=49...

As a general rule though, anything that is sealed at the factory that it is produced isn't a problem. (My parents always managed to send me the fixings for Thanksgiving dinner without any problem.) The only time you have issues is if you're trying to send produce or homemade products.

I wanted to send my father some edibles last Christmas and I was told that someone would have to come to the airport at Montpellier to clear them through customs. Is this a new rule? I used to send foodstuffs before with no problem....
