Can I ask, my husband has bottles and packets of different screws and bolts say about 50 of each size and shape, and washers pop ribbets, wood screws, cement screws and dowls and self tapped screws.
It's all in little bottles and he would want to know if he Wil be able to place that in container.
His tools are about 3-4 years old so I don't have receipts. They still have their boxes but other than that most tools will be loose and packed in boxes or plastic containers.

Hello Myb003,

The most important thing is to pay attention to those articles that are either prohibited or controlled.

1 . Prohibited and restricted goods

2. List of Selected Prohibited Goods

Customs will be able to provide more details : https://www.mra.mu/index.php/customs

I don't think you will have any problem whatsoever. I packed lots of old DIY equipment in tool boxes etc. when moving and there was no issue. Good luck.
