I've  been trying to ship some WW II electronics to the UK from the US.

It  turns out that the UK authorities are concerned about critters inside
the  crate....  never mind that the crate has been sealed for about  60
years!

Are you sure John ?  only this is not Australia, I had to  show them the 
soles of the shoes in my case when I entered, in case there was  some real 
dirt on them. 
 
I cannot believe, knowing just what they let into this  country, that they 
would be worried about a wooden crate. They must get thou's  of crates at 
the docks.
