No rods to Croatia? Prohibited item, apparently!

[robtherake]

I'm selling a couple of rods on the bay for a friend who, sadly, is too infirm to continue his angling pursuits.

 

A fella from Croatia messaged for a postal quote, but when I checked out the potential cost it seemed sensible to look in the list of prohibited items first.

 

It's a long list, but you could have knocked me down with a feather when I saw fishing rods were one of the items in there.

 

I know that there are fellas on here who have vast experience in this field and hoped someone could clarify for me before I message the guy back.

I wouldn't bother with overseas bids if I were you. In my experience the UK will provide the winning bid without a load of hassle and aggravation. Possibly banned in Croatia because hollow rods are used by drug smugglers etc..

I stipulate UK only, Peter, but for guys with good feedback I will occasionally make an exception on request and have yet to be disappointed. It's a shame, because these customers are usually as keen as mustard and are always incredibly grateful.
