Can you ship food, tea and supplements?

Sometimes, and the country decides. Food is one of the most restricted categories in international post, not because of tax but because of biosecurity. Tea, coffee and sealed dry goods usually travel to most countries. Meat, dairy, fresh produce, seeds and anything containing animal derivatives are refused by Australia, New Zealand, the US and the EU in most forms. Supplements are treated as food or as medicine depending on the ingredients and the destination — Japan and Korea are strict, the UAE requires registration for some products. We check the specific product and destination before you buy, and tell you in writing whether a route exists. We do not ship food and hope it clears.
