[silk] Anyone going from Chennai/Bangalore to the US?
Hello, Going against the grain here. I don't want to ship things from the US to India, but send stuff from home to the US. Food. More specifically, the rather brilliant Sri Krishna Sweet's Mysore Pa, to a friend in San Diego. The couriers/commercial carriers refused to ship perishable goods, and I get conflicting answers from three different Govt. of India post offices.

The new rule book of the Indian post offices state 'NO' to perishable items, which includes CDs, cameras (even mechanical), and a other such items which make no sense. ~ashwin

Perishable in that context has to be interpreted as fragile / breakable -- srs (blackberry) -Original Message- From: Ashwin Kumar ashwi...@gmail.com Sender: silklist-bounces+suresh=hserus@lists.hserus.net Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 06:59:06 To: silklist@lists.hserus.net Reply-To: silklist@lists.hserus.net Subject: Re: [silk] Anyone going from Chennai/Bangalore to the US?

Be careful of US customs regulations. We're encouraged to report any foodstuffs we're carrying and they sometimes get seized when we do :-(.

Danese Cooper [28/11/11 17:42 -0800]: Be careful of US customs regulations. We're encouraged to report any foodstuffs we're carrying and they sometimes get seized when we do :-(. seized and thrown into a dustbin, to the chagrin of quite a few people who turn up carrying sweets, pickles, masala and everything else that they don't expect to get in a howling wasteland called america where people eat mcdonalds for breakfast, lunch and dinner :) Makes for a bit of a schadenfreudically enjoyable sight
