Meches held the tiny box, and first told me it was a “forgot their term for foreign chemical”. I argued with them back and forth. Then they wanted me to pay an exorbitant amt. of shekels to release it. I told them to throw it away because I didn’t like their asking for hundreds of shekels for a harmless vitamin.<br /><br />I have heard that other people have had items confiscated from their mail-order of health food items (this from the owner of a health food store here in Israel). He didn’t understand why, and contacted meches. They told them it was still being reviewed for permission to enter the country. So much for that excuse.<br /><br />I can understand denying items out of fear of contamination, but to charge an exorbitant “release fee” is, in my opinion, a fancy way of making money.Neshamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326762185596512130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76692515692303107.post-90964495995976162152017-08-16T11:10:20.743+03:002017-08-16T11:10:20.743+03:00Question to your comment for palmtreeofdeborah.blo...Question to your comment for palmtreeofdeborah.blogspot.de/2017/08/israel-pipeline-for-american-culture-to.html<br /><br />to Neshama:<br />Could you explain what you mean by "disallow imports of healthy foods" ?<br />Do you have some examples of this ?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
