Can I send tea by mail from Germany to the United States?

Question

hi I was wondering If I am aloud to send a friend of mine, by mail tea....from Germany to the United States....and if so, I am wondering of how dose it have to be packed?

Answer 1

I agree with "Blues". Pack it carefully and label it so that customs won't open the package. Anything over one pound has to have an xray, so be prepared for that as well.

Answer 2

duty free....is only if you want to take it on the airplane.....just send it in a box in a ziplock bag.  It will automatically be x-rayed and the dogs will sniff the box but they wont tell you.  Just send it normally and with a label...

Answer 3

up to 3 kg is duty free.

pack it so that it can't get wet, open, damaged.
