Can we carry cremated remain ashes while we travel to India? what are
the rules and regulations we must follow?
Ja, du kan bära och resa med kremerade rester från USA till Indien. Du ska uppfylla TSA-krav, flygbolagspolitik och krav på indiska ambassader / konsulat.
TSA-föreskrifter
Från Min TSA kan du bära kremerade rester och det finns ett råd att kontrollera med ditt flygbolag om du får krympad kvarstår som incheckat bagage eller bär på väska. Ytterligare kremade rester bör transporteras i en lättbehållare av trä eller plast. Se följande riktlinje:
"Under no circumstances will a Transportation Security Officer (TSO)
open a crematory container. To facilitate screening, we suggest that
you purchase a temporary or permanent crematory container made of a
lighter weight material, such as wood or plastic. If the container is
made of a material that generates an opaque image, the TSO will not be
able to clearly determine what is inside the container and the
container will not be permitted.
Even if an item is generally permitted, it may be subject to
additional screening or not allowed through the checkpoint if it
triggers an alarm during the screening process, appears to have been
tampered with, or poses other security concerns. The final decision
rests with TSA on whether to allow any items on the plane."
