Hi Jonathan

I can't give you any specifics, but I know that customs over here is pretty strict on this sort of thing.  Check out http://www.daff.gov.au/aqis   They let in "professionally" prepared food that is sealed.  They don't let in fresh food.  Yours may be 1/2 way between.

cheers

Good morning (or appropriate local diurnal period),

I have just recently produced and bottled the first batch of my 
home-made hot sauce. I have always intended to distribute this (free of 
charge) to friends and colleagues, but one of the interested parties 
lives in Australia, and I am located in the Midwest of the USA.

I know there are professional hot sauce makers and shippers on the list 
- does anyone have specific advice regarding what's necessary not only 
to ship this out, but to make sure it will arrive?
