Bringing food into India ?

india2004 · Mar 26th, 2004, 05:24

We are going trekking and want to bring some foods to supplement the things we will get in the markets before our trek. But are there any quarrantine restrictions in India to importing food ?

You can pretty much bring in any food that you wish unlike many other countries that have strict rules on imports.

If you say that the food is for self consumption it becomes more easy.... well as such there are no strict rules...

as a general rule -no fresh agro products can be imported to any country from another (fresh fruits/vegs/mushrooms/seeds...).

all processed foods mai pen rai - no plomplem
