Hi Tonyk, your question has left me quaking(?) with fear. I have just moved from Johannesburg to Portugal and put all my household contents in a container that will be arriving middle of November. I have wooden dining room furniture, wooden stands, kists, decorative pieces, crated items etc, I hope that all this is not going to be confiscated. Will let you know as soon as all my stuff gets cleared, hope it will be on time to give you the info. The only thing the consulate told me was that CFC fridges would not be accepted in Pt and my wine collection had to stay behind. When do you think you will be coming? Nelinha
