Dear All,
Can you please guide me how a Brazilian can send money to India? One of my friend wants some Ayurvedic medicines but they asked her to disclose for what she is going to send the money and medicines are not in their list of reasons

Thanks,
Manish

Manish,

Your friend needs to identify the compositions of the substances that she wants to import into Brazil, and determine whether or not they're allowed. Brazil is extremely strict about the importation of agricultural, biological, chemical, or medical products. She could have some luck in that Ayurvedic medicines may not meet the Brazilian definitions of "medical products", but they probably will set off alarms as agricultural, biological, or chemical substances, and your friend will need to satisfy the authorities with respect to their legality here before she will be allowed to import them.
After that, if she has a bank account in Brazil and you have one in India, the actual transfer should be relatively easy, if rather expensive.
