Shipping to the USA

rnbtg

Anyone have tips for shipping to the us. Ideally it would be an envelope of 100g or so but that seems nonviable. I want to send friends spices I grow basically and the cost seems pricey no matter what. 40$ or so.

I have only had good luck with DHL.

And me with FEDEX.


Standard Correios mail can take 6-8 weeks to arrive.

I’m wondering about the legality of something like this. l was under the impression that any sort of agricultural product had to be inspected and packaged with a stamp of the ministry of agriculture.

l know it's not allowed on an airplane. If l were you I would look into this before spending money sending a package that might end up getting confiscated.

FEDEX or DHL.  DHL is actually pretty good.


Make sure you fill your bill of laden accurately.   Do not seal the envelopes until you get to the service center.
