What can you bring back to the U.S. from vietnam thats legal? |
Travel Info heard that food and fruits are not exceptable... true? Travel Tips Almost all fruits and vegetables are banned, most canned meat products are also severely restricted, depending on their country of origin. I wasn't even allowed to bring some beef jerky into the U.S.from Asia, even though it was made in the U.S., and the customs people confiscated it after I declared it (maybe they just wanted it so they could eat it). Here's the U.S. Customs webpage on what is and isn't allowed:http://help.cbp.gov/cgi-bin/customs.cfg/... It's probably best to not bring any food into the U.S., candy and a few other items are ok, not much else. Others Herpes. Generally they are prohibited due to possible parasites and fruit fly larva. Packaged goods, canned goods are okay. But forget fresh vegetables, flowers, meats, etc. Thats true if they are fresh. I've brought back lots of stuff that I was sure would be questioned, but I never received a second glance during inspection. I've brought back tea, dried fruits, dried fish and other foods without a problem. However, I will never consider bringing back fresh fruits or other unprocessed foods. You can call and ask the U.S. Consulate in Saigon or the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi. They can be very helpful if you ask the right questions, and will tell you exactly what you can or cannot bring back to the U.S. Regular traveler to Vietnam. Returned to the U.S. with dried fruits, fish and tea without a problem. The official USDA list of allowable foods and plant products from most countries is subject to change. Best thing to do is getting a list from Customs Department what allowed to bring to the US. I was able to bring wine and can food when I came back from France. |
