Can seeds and herbs be shipped?

Turkish Tea and Spices for Syria

To buy Turkish tea or spices from a Turkish store for Syria, choose factory-sealed packs printed with weight and expiry rather than open bags. Strong spices pass their smell to the rest of the parcel, so ask for them to be packed in separate sealed bags. Whole seeds, plants and some herbs may need an acceptance review, so ask before buying and check food import requirements.

Choosing tea

Turkish black tea is sold loose or in bags in different weights. Copy the type and weight from the page, choose a factory-sealed pack, and if you want a double teapot, ask for separate packing since it may be glass or dent-prone metal.

Keeping smells apart

Cumin, red pepper, sumac and spice mixes pass their smell easily to clothes and coffee. Ask for separate sealed bags plus an outer bag, and keep them away from clothing and odor-absorbing products.

Products that need review

Whole seeds, unprocessed dried plants and some herbs may face restrictions or special checks on import. Send the link and ask whether they are accepted before buying, and prefer processed, packed products with a clear label.

Combining the order

Combine tea and spices with your other food purchases, and write the address with the governorate, city, neighborhood and a nearby landmark and an active phone number. Shipping to Syria runs overland through the Turkish border crossings, and MarkaShip publishes reference prices by governorate, excluding customs: a medium carton (60×40×40 cm, up to 15 kg) is $15 for the north (Idlib, Aleppo), $17 for the center (Homs, Hama) and $20 for the south (Damascus); a large carton (80×50×50 cm, up to 30 kg) is $20, $23 and $25, confirmed per shipment. Current food import requirements are checked with the competent authorities and customs before shipping.
