Good luck with growing the chilies! My cousin brought back all kinds of dried chilies and seeds as well as different Mexican beans and planted them, it just did not work out. Your daughter is lucky to find serranos.
In Paris I searched the markets and found a few chilies the Chinese use at Tangs Brothers, some type of hot chile used by the A.rabs and a type of habanero. That is it. Most of the tropical fruit do not have any taste and cost a fortune. Avocados are easy to find in Paris and are used quite a lot but they are expensive. Most Mexican Restaurants in Paris serve bad Tex Mex.
My sister has a Mexican friend from DF who is married to a French man. Her friend comes back loaded with whatever she misses as many many things are not available. When you get in the provinces the prices and the choices are even worse.
I do not know about German Customs but the French are a joke, last time I went over there I brought with me fresh poblanos, chocolate and mole in plastic containers my Oaxaca friend had given me. No one asked me any questions. The trick is to follow a young pretty girl, the customs guys are so busy trying to get her phone number that the poblanos and the mole have no problems getting in.
