About Cream
Fresh cream is highly restricted due to very short shelf life and high dairy content. UHT cream in sealed packaging may be acceptable in some countries. Powdered cream or non-dairy creamer substitutes face fewer restrictions. Not recommended for international travel unless in powdered or shelf-stable form.
