Greetings, This is not Visa related, Covid or the like. My fiance' in Sriracha is trying to mail me by Fed Ex a package of 5 bottles of the Mae Mali oil to the USA. The currier is telling her it is a controlled substance and requires a FDA request (in her words). She wrote it down as a gift as "essential oils" on the commercial invoice but the guy at Fed Ex tells her she needs the manufacturer's certificate and FDA request? How can we get it by them?
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is seeking advice on mailing five bottles of Mae Mali essential oil from Thailand to the USA. The courier, FedEx, has informed the user's fiancée that the package may be classified as a controlled substance requiring an FDA request and a manufacturer's certificate, even though it was declared as a gift. Suggestions from commenters include considering alternative shipping methods like Thai Post, emphasizing the importance of complying with courier regulations, and discussions about whether it's necessary to transport the product personally.
