Can i send gold ornaments through courier from india to US

Question

Is it legal to send gold ornaments from India to US. If so is there any courier service which could help me in this regard?

Answer 1

You need to contact recognised couriers like DLH if they will accept gold ornaments for delivery. But it is essential to insure the items before despatching. You need to check with customs on the value permitted and have to get the ornaments certified. Through your contact in US you need to check if US customs will permit the gold ornaments in to US. Better way will be to hand over personally,when your relatives or friends from US visit you in India.
