I guess every POE is different. My moms durian candy got taken in Seattle by customs. And no it's not raw, they are candy. She brought these before.

PM me for any AP or AR relating to the NBI

My balikbayan box was filled with goodies and pasalubong...just wrap them carefully... put plenty of newspapers or anything to protect them... I brought dried mangos from Cebu too...they will surely like it! I had different kinds of durian and mangosteen candies but most of them (americans) don't like the strange taste.

Eternally destined,

where will you get the balikbayan box?

I got mine in National Bookstore. The brand was Merit and as far as I can remember it cost Php 20.00. The size of it is 20x20x20. Kailangan tama yung size nya.
