Please could anyone tell me whether we would have trouble shipping an antique wooden bedroom furniture suite? It was bought as a (literal) Birth Day present for my hubby's gran (so it would be 91 years old).

It's really good quality stuff and very beautiful too, but after what happened to poor Eddie and Tina, I wouldn't want to run the risk of being charged the King's Shilling to get it through Customs.

Any advice?

(Thanks for lettting me interrupt. x)

I shipped over antique furniture with no problem - I was recommended to have my container fumigated in UK prior to departure - as a lot of the furniture was old english wood. We had the fumigation done at just over £200 and the certificate was sent to customs via our agent and was accepted into the country - no probs.
