Sim, você pode transportar e viajar com restos cremados dos EUA para a Índia. Você deve atender à exigência da TSA, à política da companhia aérea e ao requisito de consulado / consulado da Índia.
Regulamentos da Tsa
Do Meu TSA , você pode levar restos cremados e há um conselho para verificar com sua companhia aérea se você tem permissão para permanecer cremado como bagagem despachada ou como bagagem de mão. Outros restos cremados devem ser transportados em um recipiente leve feito de madeira ou plástico. por favor veja a seguinte diretriz:
"Under no circumstances will a Transportation Security Officer (TSO) open a crematory container. To facilitate screening, we suggest that you purchase a temporary or permanent crematory container made of a lighter weight material, such as wood or plastic. If the container is made of a material that generates an opaque image, the TSO will not be able to clearly determine what is inside the container and the container will not be permitted.
Even if an item is generally permitted, it may be subject to additional screening or not allowed through the checkpoint if it triggers an alarm during the screening process, appears to have been tampered with, or poses other security concerns. The final decision rests with TSA on whether to allow any items on the plane."
