What Gifts Can You Send from Jaipur to the USA?
Popular gift choices include Indian handicrafts, cushion covers, table runners, decorative pottery, jewellery and suitable packaged food items.
However, not every product is accepted for international shipping. Fresh meat, dairy products, seeds, plants and certain food items may face restrictions. Perfumes, aerosols and some electronic products may also require special handling.
Before packing, share the exact item details with your courier to confirm whether the goods can be shipped.

How to Pack Gifts for International Courier
Good packaging helps protect your gifts during transportation and handling.
- Use a strong corrugated cardboard box.
- Wrap each item separately with suitable cushioning.
- Fill empty spaces to prevent movement inside the parcel.
- Give fragile items, such as pottery and glassware, extra protection.
- Seal the carton securely and check the recipient's address.
- Keep photographs of the contents and a copy of the item list.
Choose a box that fits your gifts properly. Oversized packaging can increase volumetric weight and affect shipping costs.

What Documents Are Required to Send Gifts to the USA?
International gift shipments may require:
- An invoice or appropriate gift declaration
- A packing list, where applicable
- Sender KYC documents
- The recipient's full US address and phone number
- Additional documents for regulated products, if required
Describe every item accurately and declare its actual value. Calling a parcel a gift does not remove the requirement to follow customs regulations.
Is Customs Duty Charged on Gifts Sent to the USA?
US Customs and Border Protection provides a separate exemption for qualifying genuine personal gifts worth up to $100 in total per recipient per day, subject to applicable conditions.
Customs treatment depends on the contents, value, shipping method and regulations in force when the shipment arrives. The exemption should not be treated as a guarantee that every parcel will be free of all import charges.
Before booking:
- Declare the actual contents and value.
- Confirm whether the shipment qualifies as a genuine personal gift.
- Check restrictions on food and other regulated products.
- Ask your courier about the applicable customs requirements.
