We have had pickfords in for a pre-uplift survey, and they told us that all belongings that have been outside have to be cleaned and then washed down with jeyes fluid (bird flu). My questions is how clean does everything have to be, I have jet washed and scrubbed with a toothbrush 5 bikes today: all the mud is gone but cannot get all the marks off the tyres! Is this sufficient as they mentioned customs charge to destroy dirty items. They come again on the 20th to pack up ours sea freight!

everything has to be mint ,,really mint ,,if youve washed all the bikes and their tyres a suggsetion the other day from a member caught out with customs is to wrap the wheels in clingfilm so they cant get any dust,dirt etc on them en route to the container.Garden stuff must be free of soil,grass etc they are very strict on this.Christmas stuff must not contain pine cones,i know someone fined for having plastic ones fastened to her tree!!! if in doubt ask the shippers before they pack it ,good luck
