Hi seniors,

I will be traveling to Delhi this month and someone asked me to bring Shankha for religious purpose. Is there any issue bringing it? Please see link above to see the picture.
The person transporting it will have to declare it to US immigration/customs; often enough they are allowed in without issue, but make sure to have it declared at the passport/visa-checking counter and in the baggage claim area when encountering customs clearance personnel.

The biggest issue will be if it passes the wildlife/ag check; they mostly seem to pass.
