U.S. Travel Bans You Need to Know

Heading to the States this summer? Pack smart—U.S. Customs is strict on pests and diseases, banning most fresh produce like mangoes and peppers from Guyana, plus soil. Only commercially sealed goods, baked items, and dried spices are usually safe. Fish? Fresh, chilled, or frozen finfish (properly packaged) and dried/smoked varieties are allowed, but avoid endangered species and always declare. Homemade meat dishes? Restricted. Medications? Keep originals with prescriptions. Marijuana? Absolutely banned. Jewelry? Declare high-value pieces. Cash? No limit, but $10K+ needs FinCEN Form 105. Alcohol? 1 liter duty-free for 21+. Tobacco? 200 cigarettes or 100 cigars. Bottom line: Declare everything, keep receipts, and when in doubt, leave it behind. Check CBP’s site before you go.
