I would like to send some fresh fruit with a friend who is visiting next week. Is it acceptable? Or, is there some funky law which not many people are aware of, and they'll make me throw my $35 worth of Harry & David pears away...? Thanks!
Send it, but send it express. If you send it via priority mail it may or may not arrive. i just had a priority mail package arrive after 35 days! Express mail has tracking and priority does not. I have never had a problem with fruits or plants. Several years ago I brought Bamboo in. i checked wi. customs. if you have any doubts check wi customs. they have the final say.
If it is coming direct from Harry& David it should be packed fine and survive the trip.

Are you sending WITH someone coming down? If so check with the airlines. I think it's ok, but it never hurts to ask.
Many mail order places will not send perishables here. Check with Harry and David if they do ship.
I have never had any problem with bringing vegetables or fruits back from the states to STT. I asked TSA at the airport the first time I did it and they said they were not concerned with vegetables or fruits leaving the states only coming into them.
You can send it down no problem! Just can't take any fresh friut up there!
