What items can't be carried when American immigrants enter the country?

Those who carry the equivalent currency of more than US$ 65,438+US$ 0,000 must fill in the US Customs Declaration Form truthfully, otherwise they will be detained. Don't worry, you won't be charged for reporting, just register. The United States is a country without foreign exchange control. Gold used to be limited, but now it is gone. All kinds of gold coins and gold bars can be used, and the quantity is not limited.

U.S. Customs does not inspect CDs. Take pirated CDs like this, throw away all the skins and put them in CD bags, so no one knows what they are. If you have packaging, American software, such as windows, unpacks and checks in the United States, then you are finished.

Generally speaking, if you bring a small quantity, it may be that things will be confiscated, while if you bring a large quantity, you will be suspected of selling, and you may be fined or jailed. CDs are duty-free and do not need to be declared.

liquid

The size of liquid, spray or hair spray container in hand luggage must be equal to or less than 100 ml. All containers must be sealed in a transparent plastic bag with a capacity of one liter, and each person is limited to one plastic bag. The capacity of plastic bags shall not exceed 1 l, that is, about 20×20 cm or 15×25 cm.

When you arrive at the security checkpoint, you must hand over any liquids, sprays and hairspray you still carry with you, including such duty-free goods. Containers exceeding 100 ml should be packed in checked baggage or taken away. Half-full containers with capacity exceeding 100 ml cannot be carried. The new regulations will also increase random body searches during security inspection.

Drugs and chemical reagents

Generally, the commonly used prescriptions of Chinese and western medicines can pass the security check, but sometimes you may be asked to show proof of demand. Traditional Chinese medicine products must be non-parasitic plants. China citizens often bring some Chinese medicines or proprietary Chinese medicines into the country. I want to remind you that these Chinese medicines and proprietary Chinese medicines contain prohibited ingredients:

* Drugs: Biyan Tablet, Chailian Oral Liquid, Dahuoluo Pill, Zhuifeng Ointment, Compound Chuanbei Zhike Syrup, Ganmao Capsule, Jizhi Syrup, etc.

Strychnine: Da Die Wanhua Oil, Rheumatoid Arthritis Tablets, Guci Capsules, Arthritis Ointment, Jingyaokang Capsules, Weierkang Tablets and Yaotongning Capsules;

pet

Cats and dogs can be brought in if they don't look sick. Contact your airline and ask how to carry them. If there seems to be a problem, you have to pay for it yourself, and the customs will find a licensed veterinarian to check it. You can only bring it in if there is no problem.

(1) A pet dog needs an English version of the rabies vaccine certificate or an English translation. It should be able to identify dogs, the injection and expiration time of vaccines. If there is no expiration time, it will be counted as 1 year and signed by the veterinarian. If dogs enter Hawaii or Guam, they should be isolated for a period of time before being released.

(2) If you are a turtle, you can bring less than 7, including turtle eggs.

(3) Rabbits, Dutch pigs, squirrels, minks and chipmunks can all be brought in directly.

(4) Live fish need to fill in the form-American Fish and Wildlife Form 3- 177 (declaration of imported or exported wildlife), and inspection fees may be paid at individual ports.

(5) Pet birds need to be quarantined for 30 days before customs clearance, and the fees should be paid in advance, and an appointment should be made by telephone in advance. Only three ports can bring live birds into this country. Pet birds also need to fill in the form 3-177 of the United States.

Cigarettes and alcohol

Each adult can bring 0.95 liter of wine into the United States duty-free, or 300 cigarettes or 50 cigars, or 1.35 kg of tobacco leaves (not made in Cuba) duty-free. When these goods exceed the quota enter the country, they must pay excessive customs duties.

food

1. All chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, sheep, deer and horse meat are not allowed. Whether sealed or vacuum, there are dozens of plastic bags. Whether you are floss, sausage, moon cake, biscuit, ham, canned meat, cured meat, fresh meat, bacon, dried meat, patties, and jiaozi.

2. Meat may be ok in rare cases: that is, if it is a sealed can, and the trademark clearly indicates that it is cooked in English, and this can can can be kept for a long time without freezing. But the rules keep changing. It's possible. Don't bring it.

3. Fish, all kinds of fish can be used, such as fish floss, dried fish, canned fish, raw fish ... I just took raw fish, sealed it in a bag and refrigerated it with ice cubes. The people at the airport checked it and let it go. 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 are also acceptable, 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. Fruit, all fresh fruits are not allowed. What is dry is sealing, that is, plastic bags in the factory, and no vacuum is needed.

8. Dried fruits are all right.

9. If there is 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 statement on 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.

10. Seasonings can be brought, such as tofu, pickles and all kinds of sauces, but they are easy to spill, and bottles and cans are easily broken. Everyone should be careful. Generally, China is found in American supermarkets. Not recommended.

Dry seasoning is ok, but peppers are not allowed in California in recent years. Friends who leave California should pay attention. You can't buy peppers in China Supermarket in California.

1 1. Mushrooms and auricularia can do anything. The dried compressed auricularia auricula in Northeast China is very good, and it is very convenient to send it after coming.

12. If you take something to eat on the plane, leave the leftover fruits, meat and intestines on the plane, and don't bring them down.

Finally, remind everyone that you must bring whatever you want. If you bring something illegal, just report it and confiscate it at most, and you won't be fined or jailed. If you don't report it and get caught, then maybe.

Generally speaking, customs are reasonable, and no one wants to make things difficult for you. Because I don't know the situation, I bring contraband. If it is not within the scope of customs declaration, if it is a small amount, it will be confiscated at most, so don't worry too much.
