Precautions for entry and exit in the United States:

(1) According to American regulations, when foreigners come to the United States, their passports are valid for at least six months. Please check the validity of your passport and visa carefully before you travel.

(2) Please bring a copy of the information provided when applying for a visa. The US Customs may ask you to provide the above information again when you enter the country.

(3) Please read carefully or ask about the types of articles that are not allowed to be carried by the customs to ensure that you are not carrying contraband.

(4) Please fill in the customs declaration and other documents carefully and truthfully, and don't omit or conceal them due to negligence or luck. If you have difficulty filling it out, ask the stewardess for help.

(5) Please queue up for entry formalities. When waiting in line, please keep quiet, try not to use mobile phones, don't look around, and don't change teams many times, so as not to cause unnecessary suspicion to US customs officials.

(six) according to the instructions of the US customs officials, cooperate with the inspection and produce the information as required. If you don't know English, you can prepare a simple English note in advance. Some airports will provide translation services in Mandarin and Cantonese.

(7) If the US Customs asks to stay for investigation or inquiry, if translation is needed, try to ensure that the translation can truly and completely convey the meaning of both parties. If in doubt, you can directly ask the border inspection officials to change the translators.
