You can send or carry some pickles from India to the USA or UK, but acceptance depends on the ingredients, destination rules, courier and customs inspection. Vegetable pickles and non-veg pickles are not treated the same, and no seller or courier can guarantee customs clearance.
How to Order Tulasi Pickles for Overseas Delivery
Contact Tulasi Pickles through the Overseas Orders page or WhatsApp before paying. Share the destination country, postcode, product names and quantities. The team can confirm current product eligibility, packing options, courier availability, estimated delivery time and shipping cost.
Customs charges, local taxes, inspections and import decisions remain the customer’s responsibility unless your written quote states otherwise.
Sending Pickles to the USA
Travellers must declare all agricultural and animal products to US Customs and Border Protection. US inspectors make the final decision at entry. Meat and animal products face additional restrictions, and eligibility can change with disease controls and product origin.
- Declare every pickle and food item, including products in checked baggage.
- Keep the original label, receipt and ingredient information available.
- Do not assume chicken, mutton, fish or prawns pickles will be admitted simply because they are cooked or sealed.
- Check the current USDA guidance for meat, poultry and seafood before travelling or shipping.
Sending Pickles to the UK
Great Britain applies different rules to food brought for personal use and food imported commercially. Products containing meat, dairy, fish or other animal ingredients can face restrictions, documentation requirements or border checks when arriving from India.
Check the current UK government guidance on bringing food into Great Britain and confirm acceptance with the courier before dispatch.
How Tulasi Pickles Are Packed for Overseas Orders
Tulasi Pickles uses layered food-quality covers for overseas orders to reduce leakage and avoid the weight and breakage risk of glass jars. Packaging reduces risk but cannot guarantee that a pouch will never be damaged during handling.
- The pickle is sealed in a primary food-quality pouch.
- A second protective cover adds another barrier.
- An outer food-quality cover completes the pack.
Carrying Pickles in Airline Baggage
Oil-based pickles may be treated as liquids or gels by airport security. Check the departure airport and airline rules before packing. If the product is permitted, checked baggage is generally more practical than cabin baggage for containers over the applicable liquid limit.
- Keep products sealed in their original packaging.
- Place each pack inside an additional leak-resistant bag.
- Protect packs from crushing inside the suitcase.
- Declare the food at your destination.
