Sorry, but at 5 days is not overdue. It will in Bulgarian customs and won't be scanned till they release it to the Postal system there.

Also, there are delays because we are now a non-eu country so the rules changed and they are very strict about applying those rules.

Hopefully, you checked everything before sending it.

No it’s powder

[Snaggletooth]

If this powder is something a person eats then it comes under the Food & Drug Administration rules, which are very strict:

Preparations of meat, of fish or of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates Residues and waste from the food industries; prepared animal fodder As a result of new regulations issued by the Food and Drug Administration under the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, as from 12 December 2003, all shipments of articles of food to the United States must be preceded by a prior notice of shipment. This applies to articles shipped for commercial purposes or as gifts. Articles of food include (but are not limited to) food for humans or animals, dietary supplements, nutritional supplements, vitamins, food and color additives. Articles of food which are non-commercially prepared by an individual in his own residence and sent to another individual as a (non-commercial) gift are exempt from submission of this prior notice. This prior notice may be submitted and a prior notice confirmation number obtained via the Internet at:

No, It is a tanning powder. Not to eat.

No, It is a tanning powder. Not to eat.

But do the ingredients consist of starches (which are edible products)? - if so that could be the problem. Also the ingredients
listed below in an example of a random tanning powder contain oxidizers - again possibly a problem.
