‘Announce meat, fruits, vegetables’: For us, passengers get a strange reminder from CBP

Customs and Border Police on Saturday issued a reminder to people traveling to the US that they need to declare meats, fruits, vegetables, plants, seeds, soils, animals as well as plants and animal products that they are taking to the country. This is not a new rule, but recently there have been many cases where non-measures of these items punished the passengers. The Post attracted attention as the social media reminder was with a picture of a CBP detection dog, inspecting a cooked pig’s head wrapped in aluminum foil.

What does the rule say?

According to CBP rules, all passengers entering the United States are required to declare meats, fruits, vegetables, plants, seeds, soils, animals, as well as plants and animal products (including soup or soup products). The announcement should be covered by checking goods, carry-on goods or all the items carrying in the vehicle.On checking plants, animal products and related items, CBP agricultural experts on entry ports will determine whether these items meet the entry requirements of the United States.If these prohibited items are declared by passengers, they are seized and dealt with by CBP. Penal for non-commercial volume may be a crime of $ 1,000 per first. In March, a US Ticketkar who was returning home after traveling from Sainpur, narrated his ordinance at JFK Airport, declared nothing in customs, but when he went to pick up his Uber, border agents and a sniper dog, he stopped him to take a look at his bag. The dog smells something in his bag and it was a banana about which Ticketokar said he completely forgot. The CBP warned him of a fine of $ 500 to bring him to an undeclared agriculture. Ticketkar said, “I was upset correctly. I know what can be done and what cannot be done through the boundaries – I have traveled my whole life, visited more than 20 countries, and all 50 states are well discovered.
