Heh, I remember getting off the plane and they were searching for food and etc. We had a bunch of food in a bag, so my mom didn't want to get in trouble. She hid it behind some big post, and it looked really suspicious. As we were walking away, we heard alarms go off and people were running towards the bag lulz.HollisHurlbut wrote:
You can bring pretzels in, just declare them on the form. The bottom line is that food is food, no matter what the circumstances. Some things are enterable, some are prohibited. Better to declare it and answer another question or two on primary than get referred to agriculture and try to hide your food, risk it being prohibited and suffer a $1000 penalty.Kimmmmmmmmmmmm wrote:

Just mark yes, it's not that difficult, and as long as you answer truthfully you won't get a penalty.
Yeah, US customs takes food seriously. Declare every food item. Everything else, you can lie about and just declare as gifts. I travel internationally every year.

All 60+ pounds of it? I usually bring back at least 2 box fulls of dry goods on my international travels.SEREMAKER wrote:
