Families abroad often ask for puja items. Some are easy to send, some are restricted.

Restricted or risky
- Camphor and other flammables
- Lamp oil, ghee and liquids
- Matchboxes and lighters

Packing
Brass is heavy and can damage boxes: wrap items well, use strong cartons and declare values. Read the Mylapore guide. Rules and service names differ by carrier and destination country and change often. We confirm the details for your shipment before booking.
