phills2k1 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Sorry if this is the wrong forum Wanted to have sichuan peppercorns sent here from the US. I'd found an importer there that was able to get them uncooked, and multiple varieties (as opposed to the ones here that are cooked prior to shipping and lose most of their flavor and luster). Also wanted to have aged soybean paste sent along with it. Is this something that could be an issue? Everything will be in their original packaging Thanks!

blackcab Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 What quantity do you want to import? A couple of packets for personal use, or multiple kilos for commercial resale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phills2k1 Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Just enough for myself. Like 600 grams of the peppercorns. Everything would fit into a small box Edited March 13, 2021 by phills2k1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Mail away regular post. Should be no issues. Do not send by UPS, DHL, or FedEx, that will end up possibly getting tied up in Customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdd Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I think technically it would have to be Thai FDA approved, but if you send it by regular post it might not even be checked, and in case it is checked but they see that it's only a small amount which seems reasonable for personal use they will probably not give you problems.

NancyL Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I receive food products, in their original packaging several times a year. Just be sure they can stand up to the rigors of rough handling by the postal system. Once I ordered canned products and the supplier just placed the cans in a box -- no internal padding, so the cans rolled around inside the box. By the time I received them, every can was dented. At least there wasn't a duty charged because they were sent by the postal system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phills2k1 Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 Thank you! So just have it sent here Priority from the USPS? Guess I'll also start a thread in the international food forum, but anyone know of where to get fresh Sichuan peppercorns in BKK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean Priority Express International, I think that would work out quite expensive for the small amounts you're wanting to buy.
