Yes, you can bring alcohol and some food items from the USA to India, but there are specific rules you must follow.

Alcohol 🍾

• You are allowed to carry up to 2 liters of alcohol (wine, beer, or spirits).

• The alcohol must be for personal use, not for sale.

• You must be 18 years or older.

• If you carry more than 2 liters, you may have to pay customs duty or the excess may be confiscated.

Food Items 🍫🥜

You can carry packaged and commercially sealed food items, such as:

• Chocolates and candies

• Biscuits and snacks

• Dry fruits and nuts (in limited quantity)

• Spices (for personal use)

❌ Not allowed:

• Fresh fruits or vegetables

• Meat, fish, or dairy products

• Homemade or unpacked food items

Important Tips

• Always keep items in original sealed packaging.

• Declare items at customs if you are unsure.

• Rules can change, so it’s best to check with the airline or Indian Customs before traveling.

In short: Alcohol (up to 2 liters) and sealed dry food items are allowed, but fresh or homemade food is not.
