Question 4: What food can I take to America? The following foods are not allowed. See if there's anything you want to bring. Try not to cause too much trouble. Just go to America to buy it. There are supermarkets in China.
When you come to America and go through customs, some people are always lucky. Contraband is not allowed. The United States has strict regulations on this. Violate the law, from confiscating things to fines and even arrests.
The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) lists prohibited and restricted items. The list is arranged in alphabetical order. The summary of this list is tailored to "China characteristics" and roughly classified as follows.
Meat, livestock and poultry. Whether it is fresh, dry, canned or vacuum packed, it is forbidden. So you can't bring floss, beef jerky and the like. Foods containing meat are also prohibited. Such as meat dumplings, steamed stuffed buns, fresh meat moon cakes and so on. Besides, no chicken feet. Someone with chicken feet was recently confiscated on the grounds of preventing bird flu from entering the United States. ...
Food. You can bring a small amount of bread into America. However, almost any food containing meat, such as beef soup and soup powder, is not allowed (almost anything containing meat products, such as broth and soup powder, etc. , is unacceptable). But condiments, vinegar, cooking oil, honey, coffee and tea are allowed. You can bring some spices with China characteristics, such as mushrooms, fungus, star anise, etc. Jujube, medlar, small walnut, hawthorn slices, etc. Congratulations to those who like seafood. There is no special ban in the United States. For example, dried squid, yellow croaker, Kaiyang and shrimp can be brought, while hairy crabs and dairy products are not allowed.
Special reminder:
1) If you bring food, you must declare it in the form and it will be checked. Usually, this kind of inspection is as simple as the inspection of other luggage. Just scan it.
2) Some foods are not allowed to be brought in. But if you have already declared in advance, you will confiscate the food.
3) If you bring contraband and fail to declare it, you may be punished.
Fruit and vegetables. In the 1980s, California and the federal government spent $65,438,000+billion to deal with the outbreak of the Mediterranean fruit fly. The root cause of this fruit fly outbreak is that someone brought fruit into the United States. Therefore, the United States strictly guards against fruits and vegetables. If you brought apples from China and didn't finish them on the plane, you'd better throw them away or declare them before entering the customs. Violators are fined $300 for the first time and $500 for the second time. In addition, cooked peanuts can be brought, but raw peanuts can't be brought.
Plants and seeds. You need to import documents and other documents to enter the United States. Mainly to prevent pests. So, if you plan to bring some rapeseed to grow your own vegetables, don't take any chances. Some vegetables in the United States are more expensive than pork, but rapeseed is actually sold in supermarkets in the United States. Of course, there may be no vegetables in your hometown, so you have to do as the Romans do. In addition, handicrafts made of plant materials (including straw) must be declared.
Soil. For example, it is forbidden to bring a pot of flowers, and so is the soil in the pot.
Biological products, such as cell cultures, biological tissues, etc. People who want to go to the United States for biological research must obtain the approval of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) in advance if they need to bring relevant biological products.
Drug therapy. You can take the medicine you need, but only in a reasonable dose. In addition, it is forbidden to use narcotics and other drugs that may be abused, such as: Luo Mianle, γ -hydroxybutyric acid (fairy water) and roofies, GHB and Fen-Phen, and offenders will be punished. If you want to carry drugs containing addictive ingredients, such as cough syrup, ...
Question 5: 1 and what can the CD-ROM take to the United States?
U.S. Customs does not inspect CDs. Take the pirated CD like this, throw away the package and put it in a CD bag, so no one knows what it is. If you have American-made packaging and software, such as windows, unpacked and checked in the United States, then you are finished. Or pirated American movies. Generally speaking, if you bring a small amount of things that may be confiscated, a large amount will be suspected of human trafficking, and you may be fined or imprisoned.
2. Random surprise inspection
Here, the inspection of unpacking is generally a spot check. Usually take one of several bags, maybe all the food. You must fill out a customs declaration form on the plane. If you want to bring food, you must report it, or you may be fined and imprisoned if you are caught. And once caught, it will be frequently spot-checked in the future. If cash and traveler's checks exceed $65,438+0,000 yuan, they must be declared, otherwise they will be confiscated.
Step 3 pack
There is no clear stipulation on the packaging for the time being. Many people misunderstand that the vacuum seal is not completely correct. If you don't want to bring anything, you can bring something with you in vacuum sealing or unsealing.
4. food
(1) All chicken, duck, goose, pig, cow, sheep, deer and horse meat are not allowed. Whether it is sealed, vacuum, or covered with dozens of plastic bags. Whether it's floss, sausage, moon cakes or biscuits, ham, canned meat, bacon, sauced meat, fresh meat, bacon, dried meat, patties and jiaozi with meat stuffing, it's not allowed. But in rare cases, it may be brought: that is, if it is a sealed can and the trademark clearly indicates that it is cooked in English, the can can be kept for a long time without freezing.
(2) If you take food with you on the plane, leave the leftover fruits, meat and intestines on the plane, and don't bring them down.
(3) All kinds of fish can be used, such as fish floss, dried fish, canned fish and raw fish. Caviar is limited to 250 grams, and it will be confiscated if it exceeds 250 grams.
(4) Dairy products are generally acceptable. Including yogurt and cheese, but because it is liquid, it has to be checked. (5) Bean products can also be used, such as dried bean curd and fermented bean curd.
(6) Eight-treasure porridge is OK, but it is also available in supermarkets in China and the United States.
(7) All fresh fruits are not allowed. It is best to seal and dry. (8) Dried fruits can be used.
(9) If there is egg yolk or meat in the moon cake, it is not allowed to bring it. Other kinds of moon cakes are ok. If there is a clear description of the contents of the mooncake box, there is no need to open it, otherwise customs officers may not only open the box, but also cut the mooncakes for inspection. If someone wants to exploit the loopholes, it may not be feasible to get a fake trademark, because meat can be seen when scanning. If you cut it open and find it is meat, the trouble will be even greater.
(10) Seasonings can be brought, as can tofu, pickles and all kinds of sauces, but they are easy to spill, and bottles and cans are easily broken, so be careful. Generally, domestic supermarkets have them here, so it is not recommended to bring them. Dry seasoning is ok, but California has not allowed peppers to enter the country in recent years, so friends who leave California should pay attention. (1 1) Mushrooms and auricularia can be used.
5. Cutting machine
Cutters can be checked, regardless of customs. It's best to bring 1 or two big kitchen knives, Zhang Xiaoquan or hemp seed.
6. clothes
(1) One problem is that there are many times when there are no clothes in a particularly small size. Thin students try to bring enough clothes.
If you are an MBA, you should bring at least one formal suit. I suggest you wear a black suit. Ties and shoes. Of course.
7. Take personal medicine casually, but don't bring too much.
8. Alcohol and tobacco
The wine is 1000 ml, 200 cigarettes. Maotai Wuliangye is sold in China stores in the east and west of the United States. Excessive alcohol and tobacco can also be used, and so can tax returns. The tax on wine is not very high, about 4-5 dollars per bottle. Cigarettes are not particularly clear, but on the whole they are more cost-effective than buying them in the United States. The cigarette tax in the United States is very high. Cigars made in Cuba are not allowed. Flat lighters can be put in hand luggage. Unless you have a DOT-approved box, you can't carry it with you or check it. Safety matches can be carried with 1 in hand luggage or hand luggage, but not in checked luggage. The safety of matches is that they must be struck when they are closed, not on the wall.
9. Ceramics, pottery and porcelain are all acceptable.
However, the United States reminds everyone that some China ceramics have not been tested and the lead content is seriously over standard. If it is tableware, it may cause poisoning.
10, leather goods
Anything made of cat skin or dog skin is strictly prohibited from being imported. If there is a dog skin mattress ... >>
Question 6: Can I bring food to America? There is an article "What America Should Bring", which says Boston for your reference:
Everything brought into America, old and new, should be declared. These things include personal items and gifts. If what you declare can be brought into the United States duty-free, the later part of the declaration form can be omitted. You can declare it orally to the customs officer. However, if the customs officer thinks it necessary, he can ask you to declare in writing.
Passengers carrying the following items can be exempted from tax (including customs duties, etc.) if they are only for their own use, not for others to use or sell:
Personal items (such as clothes, accessories, toiletries, cameras, etc. ).
A quarter gallon (about one liter) of wine (including spirits, wine and beer, etc.). ). But only adults and non-residents aged 2 1 year can be exempted from tax. If the country has other restrictions on bringing alcohol into the country, those regulations shall prevail.
Two hundred cigarettes or fifty cigars, or three pounds of cut tobacco, or a considerable amount of each of the above three kinds of tobacco. Vehicles (such as cars, trailers, planes, motorcycles and ships) are used exclusively by users after entering the country. Passengers carrying gifts, the price of gifts does not exceed one hundred dollars. It's duty-free. However, it is conditional to stay in the United States for at least 72 hours and not enjoy this tax-free preferential treatment in the past six months. Passengers can take one hundred cigars as gifts, which is listed as one of the gift items.
As for money, since the United States is not a foreign exchange control country, there is no limit to the amount that passengers can bring into or out of the United States. The money includes cash or foreign currency, or traveler's checks, money orders and other bills. However, if the amount brought in or brought out by passengers exceeds US$ 65,438+US$ 00,000 or the equivalent foreign currency, it must be declared in Customs Form 4.79.
The money is not taxed, so passengers should declare it truthfully, otherwise, if any omission is found, it will be confiscated or other criminal sanctions will be imposed according to the seriousness of the case. Some items are controlled to be imported, and they are not allowed to be brought into China unless there is a license or permission, otherwise they will be confiscated once they are seized.
These contraband goods include fruits, plants, vegetables and their products.
Meat, poultry and their products (such as sausage, bacon, floss, fish floss, dried meat, etc.). ).
Absinthe (a kind of spirits).
Biological materials.
Candy infused with spirits.
Guns and ammunition (unless used for legal hunting).
Things imported from Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Khmer, Rhodesia, etc. However, things brought back from Cuba for personal use are not subject to this restriction.
Dangerous goods (such as fireworks, dangerous toys, toxic substances).
Lottery.
Pets (such as cats, dogs or birds).
There are indecent books, pictures and obscene articles.
What the prisoner did.
Articles that disturb peace or are used against the United States.
Spring knife.
Articles infringing patent rights, trademark rights and copyright.
Vehicles or locomotives that do not meet American safety or air pollution control standards.
Wild animals, endangered and protected creatures and their products (such as snakeskin, whale bones, ivory, feathers, specimens).
Question 7: Can I carry bagged snacks in my checked baggage when I go to America? Plastic snacks, pickles, Laoganma and olives are all acceptable.
Question 8: What can I take with me when I travel to America? Yes, as long as it is not food with meat, but it is not recommended to bring too much. In fact, you can buy hot water in American shops. In terms of hot water, hotels in the United States are tap water that can be directly drunk, and the hotel industry rarely provides hot water. But I traveled to America before, and the hotel provided hot water bottles. I wonder if all hotels are like this. If the landlord is really not used to drinking cold water and is not afraid of trouble, you can bring a hot kettle just in case ~
Question 9: What can't I take with me to America? 1, CD
U.S. Customs does not inspect CDs. Take the pirated CD like this, throw away the package and put it in a CD bag, so no one knows what it is. If you have American-made packaging and software, such as windows, unpacked and checked in the United States, then you are finished. Or pirated American movies.

Question 10: China people travel to the United States: What can't they bring? China people travel to the United States more and more times, but for many people who choose to travel to the United States for the first time, luggage is very important. They don't understand the situation in the United States and think that many seemingly safe things can be brought to the United States. As a result, I was taken away by the staff when I entered the country, and I still felt puzzled. When tourists from China enter the United States, some articles are prohibited from being brought into the United States. This includes: beef, pork, cooked chickens and ducks, but not raw, but sometimes it's hard to say. Recently, a China tourist was fined for bringing Nanjing salted duck. Seafood can be brought into America raw and cooked, but hairy crabs can't. Whether raw or cooked, the internal organs of animals are not allowed to be brought into the United States, and so are eggs. It is forbidden to bring all kinds of fruits into the United States. Cooked peanuts can be brought, but raw peanuts can't be brought. Seeds of all kinds, including vegetables and fruits, are not allowed to be brought into the United States. What about plants? You can bring it into America, but you need a quarantine certificate. Chinese medicine products can be brought into the United States, but they must be non-parasitic plants. Precious Chinese herbal medicines such as snake gall, leopard bone and tiger skin are prohibited from being brought into the United States as protected animals. Parasitic plants such as rabbit silk and Dendrobium are also banned, and dried tangerine peel as a traditional Chinese medicine is also banned. China people must not bring the above items when traveling to the United States. Please keep this in mind, keep a calm attitude when encountering problems, and listen carefully to the opinions of airport staff. Since you are in the United States, you should abide by American laws and regulations, not to mention the strict laws in the United States.
