Selling food to other countries?

Today I was eating my lunch and in my grapes I found a very cool looking grape. Now, I was wondering what legal issues are there about selling a grape from Australia to America, UK etc?

I am charging my camera, it is a pretty cool grape though.

Lol ! imho I think your nuts to sell a grape but then again there are some people that would buy that kinda of thing.

Sorry I can't help you, I don't know of the legal issuses with selling foods.

If you are serious about it, you better think of some way of preserving it. As you know, grapes quickly start shrivelling up.

Perhaps the best bet would be to wipe off any excess moisture, put it in a container, and leave it in the freezer?

I don't think there'd be much of a problem shipping a single grape, though, unlike if you started shipping them by the crate load.

My cousin one time was stupid enough to try to bring a fruit basket from Nicaragua as a gift to someone into the United States, and it wasn't allowed.

I don't know about a single grape however.

cool I want to see the grape!

I am going to have to freeze it - it is already loosing it's colour :'(

The pictures don't really do it justice as it is very, very pumpkin looking in shape.

You could sell it with a disclaimer or something, novelty item....

Was that a grape?

Try to sell it on ebay , I had seen lots of stupid sales around ebay.

Aren't there laws about importing and exporting untested and unscreened fruits, meats and vegetables?

Just a stab in the dark, but I could swear I've seen something about it on "Airline" or something.

There shouldn't be any because of the fact that he is just selling a masterpiece, I remember we could take away food from city to city without security checks.
