The Lunar New Year is approaching. As many Hong Kong people move overseas, their opportunities to get together with their relatives and friends in Hong Kong have become scarce. In this traditional festival, sending rice cakes, which symbolize reunion and blessings, to relatives and friends overseas has become a warm feeling. However, when sending food to places such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada, and Taiwan, you need to pay attention to relevant regulations and details. To help you easily cope with this challenge, the editor at Fuuffy has carefully prepared a guide detailing how to send New Year foods such as rice cakes and carrot cakes safely and effectively. Through this guide, you can ensure that this thoughtful gift reaches your relatives and friends on time, so that they can feel the deep New Year blessings from far away.
If you consider sending rice cakes overseas, you need to pay special attention to the following points:
Due to customs regulations, shipments of food containing meat and eggs often face stricter inspections. Ensuring your food products do not contain these ingredients can significantly reduce the complexity of customs clearance.
Foods containing liquids or powders can easily cause problems during transportation, so try to avoid sending such products.
Most express delivery companies only accept food transported under normal temperature conditions. Choosing foods that do not require special temperature controls can help maintain their quality and safety.
During the process of shipping to Hong Kong, the customs has very strict labeling requirements for food. Making sure the name of the food and all ingredients are clearly marked on the package can speed up the customs clearance process and reduce delays.
