Can I buy dried food from Ebay?

I want to buy some dried foods from Korea and Japan on Ebay. They're just snacks (for example: dried squid snack, tea..), weigh under 1kg.
My parents usually sent me dried foods via post from Asia and it was fine. But I don't know about online shopping.
Does anyone have experience on this?

Thanks in advance!

Look for asian shop in ebay.de there are several. That way there is no customs trouble as its already imported/inspected. Otherwise you get into big trouble in customs.

Tea is absolutely OK. You can be charged VAT, however, if the total price is over 22(?) Euro.
Squid snack? I don't think so (though not 100 % sure). Animal products are problematic in general. You might check the rules from the EC website, if you think it's worth it.
