One of the most common questions we receive from USA customers is: How long does Shilajit take to arrive, and will it get held up at customs? This guide covers everything you need to know about ordering Shilajit to any US state — from dispatch to your door.
Is It Legal to Import Shilajit Into the USA?
Yes. Shilajit is legal to import into the United States when sold as a dietary supplement that complies with FDA regulations. It is not a controlled substance, not a prescription drug, and not on any US import restriction list.

Shipping Times to the USA
- Standard International Shipping: 7–14 business days
- Express International Shipping: 3–7 business days
Note: Remote areas (Alaska, Hawaii, US territories) may experience slightly longer delivery windows than the contiguous 48 states.
What Happens at US Customs?
- Declaration: The shipment is declared as a dietary supplement with the correct HS tariff code.
- Inspection: CBP may inspect the package. Most supplement shipments pass through without issue.
- Clearance: Once cleared, the package is handed to the domestic carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx, or DHL) for final delivery.
Customs clearance typically adds 1–3 business days to the overall delivery timeline.
Will My Shilajit Be Held or Seized at Customs?
Properly labelled, lab-tested Shilajit from a reputable brand is very rarely held at US customs. Customs issues typically arise when products are mislabelled, make drug claims, have heavy metals above FDA limits, or lack proper commercial documentation.
At Golden Shilajit Official, all shipments are properly labelled, include full ingredient and manufacturer information, and are backed by Eurofins COA documentation confirming heavy metal compliance.
Import Duties and Taxes for USA Buyers
The USA has a de minimis threshold of $800 — meaning shipments valued under $800 are generally exempt from import duties and taxes. Most individual Shilajit orders fall well below this threshold.
Tracking Your Order
All Golden Shilajit Official orders are dispatched with a tracking number sent by email. If your tracking shows the package has been with customs for more than 5 business days without movement, contact us and we will assist you in following up.
What Does the Packaging Look Like?
Our Shilajit resin and drops are shipped in secure, discreet packaging. The product is sealed and labelled in compliance with US dietary supplement labelling requirements, including full ingredient list, net weight, manufacturer information, serving size, and batch number: #SLJT01LQ
Does Shilajit Get Damaged in Transit?
Shilajit resin is a naturally stable substance. It does not require refrigeration and is not sensitive to normal transit temperatures. The resin may become slightly softer in warm conditions and firmer in cold — this is normal and does not affect quality or potency. If your order arrives damaged, contact us immediately with photos and we will arrange a replacement.
