Fresh food and perishable goods are not allowed unless they have been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). In most cases, only packaged, non-perishable foods such as canned goods, snacks, or spices may be shipped. Fresh or chilled foods require special approval and must meet very specific requirements.
The shipping duration depends on the chosen service and type of parcel. Standard services usually take around 5–10 business days. Faster options such as express shipping are usually completed within 2–5 business days. Please note that customs inspections may add additional time.
