We study low energy spin and charge transport through a 1D Mott-Hubbard insulator of finite length $L$ attached to Fermi liquid reservoirs characterized by different chemical potentials for electrons of opposite spin polarizations as it happens in quantum spin Hall insulators. We calculate the average currents (charge and spin) and their correlators and demonstrate how a transition induced by the reservoirs to the low energy Fermi liquid regime results in breakdown of the spin-charge separation, which is visible in the presence of the spin dependent voltages and a weak one electron scattering in the system. These calculations are carried out under assumption that the Hubbard gap 2M is large enough: $M > T_L \equiv v_c/L$ ($v_c$: charge velocity in the wire) and the scattering rate $\Gamma_s \ll T_L$. Relation of these results to Kondo dot transport in the Toulouse limit is also clarified.
