Sending "Candy" and "Soda" to the USA.   LOL. 

Yes, you need the form. Read through below for link to the FDA form.

Not sure you are allowed to send 'soda' because it's fizzy and will probably explode en route. I've been to the States and I KNOW that they definitely have candy and soda. Can't you just take it when you go? Or give him some when he comes to the UK?  I do admit that British sweets are far superior to those in the US. Soda is much the same. And too fizzy to post.

Are there no websites in the US who sell English foods ?
I dont think sending soda from the UK is a wise decision.

I sent one 2 years ago to a friend in the US and it arrived in one piece. Obviously just use a box suitably strong enough for the goods you are sending. I had a good extra thick cardboard box from an Amazon Pantry delivery that i reused. No forms to fill out at all, as far as i know the FDA stuff is for businesses, not private individuals. I believe it was sent via UPS but there are sites you can use like parcel2go which is a bit like the comparison sites but for posting stuff.
There was no fizzy stuff in my box though, not sure if that makes a difference but it was mostly sweets, biscuits, jarred goods.
He sent me one back that had a bottle of wine in amongst other stuff, no customs issues and it made it in one piece

Most of them charge an arm and a leg, especially for stuff with a short shelf life like crumpets.

I've successfully used this company before to send british chocolate and other items to my sister, who was living in the US at the time.

When my son was on a student exchange in USA last year I sent him sweets, wrapped cakes and breakfast cereal via our Post Office.  Did not have to fill in forms, just declare the contents when posting
