I am in the UK. I have a friend in the USA and we regularly chat and swap recipes on the internet. I would love to send her a gift basket of UK ingredients, but there may well be items I am not allowed to post. Can anyone tell me where I can look up the rules about this? As an idea, some of the things I want to send are; Colman's English mustard powder in a sealed new tin. Gentleman's Relish , again in a sealed new container. This is a kind of fish paste and it sold in a really pretty pottery container. Again all items would be sealed and sent as they were sold in the shop. Marmalade and jam in those sets of tiny gift pots, such as you get in hotels. All the things I would wish to send will be new and have very long shelf lives. They would not require refrigeration. Is there a web site I can look up a list of items I CAN send?
--------------------
None of those type items are a problem. The main concerns regard fresh products, seeds, and non-commercial foods such as home-preserved meats. Those could carry pests/diseases that could contaminate the agricultural system or the environment. http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/vacati… http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/vacati…
