Question 2: How much tea can I bring to America? There is no limit to the weight, there is basically no * * *, but you can't have a full box of tea! Then the customs will think you are smuggling.
Question 3: Can I bring some tea to America? You can take it with you. On the customs declaration form to be filled in at the time of entry, "personal belongings" may not be declared, but "commercial samples" may be declared if there are many. You can take a small suitcase and a backpack with you on an international flight, but it is not necessary if you transfer. Of course, "small suitcase" is the kind that can be put into the space above the seat. In addition, all foods, including tea, should not be brought in bulk as far as possible. The United States has strict regulations on the import of plants.
Attachment: Relevant regulations on bringing all kinds of articles into the United States.
Personal effects:
For personal daily necessities, countries such as Europe and America generally have no restrictions. Generally speaking, US dollars or other foreign currencies (including traveler's checks) carried by inbound passengers are allowed to enter the country, but passengers should truthfully declare them. Before going abroad to enter a country's port, the service girl of an international flight will generally send a customs declaration form to each passenger for customs clearance when entering the country. Passengers should truthfully declare it, including the foreign exchange and traveler's checks they carry with them. For gifts brought into the country, if they exceed a certain limit, the customs will deduct tax, and if the value of gifts to the United States exceeds 50 dollars, they will also deduct tax.
Articles generally prohibited from entering the country:
Customs in western countries (except Japan) prohibit the import of ivory or ivory products, hair, skin and bone products from endangered animals such as tigers and leopards from ivory-producing countries. The United States, Britain, Japan and other countries also prohibit passengers from bringing fresh fruits, vegetables or unprocessed meat into the country.
Articles that tourists are prohibited from entering the United States:

It is forbidden to check lighters, matches, liquid articles, paper materials, currency, securities and electronic equipment in luggage. A small card should be tied to the luggage to record the passenger's name, contact number, and travel to and from the city.
Question 4: Can I bring tea when traveling to America? There should be no problem with tea, but it's best to pack it in vacuum and not open it, because the United States has strict regulations on the import of plants.
food
(1) All chicken, duck, goose, pig, cow, sheep, deer and horse meat are not allowed. Whether sealed or not, or vacuum, or dozens of plastic bags. Whether you are floss, sausage, moon cake, biscuit, ham, canned meat, bacon, sauce meat, fresh meat, bacon, dried meat, patties, jiaozi with minced meat and so on.
(2) In rare cases, meat is acceptable:
That is to say, if it is a sealed can and clearly marked in English on the trademark as cooked, the can can be kept for a long time without freezing. But the rules keep changing. It's only possible. But I don't think there is anything delicious in such canned food. Lunch meat is available in America. And these are all available in the United States, and they are all available and not too expensive. Of course, it depends on which city you go to. Anyway, San Francisco and Los Angeles basically have everything. Authentic hams are hard to find, and there are some. There is a chain store called Cordyceps City in the San Francisco Bay Area. His ham is ok, and so are other dry goods.
(3) Fish, all kinds of fish can be used, such as fish floss, dried fish, canned fish, raw fish, etc ... A buddy of mine brought me raw fish, sealed it in a bag and chilled it with ice cubes. The people at the airport checked it and let it go. Live fish look down. 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 can also be used, 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. The best drying method is to seal, that is, plastic bags in factories, without vacuum.
(8) Dried fruits will do. I used to bring 10 bag of melon seeds and 30 bags of small walnuts every time. There are melon seeds here, but there are few small walnuts.
(9) If there is egg 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 description of the contents of 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. If someone wants to exploit the loopholes, it may not be feasible to get a fake trademark, because meat can be seen when scanning. If you cut it open and find meat in it, you'll be in bigger trouble. Eat more in China. In addition, salted egg yolk moon cakes can also be bought in big cities with a large population in China, but moon cakes with meat have not been sold so far. In some parts of the United States, there are jiaozi selling meat stuffing. They are made in America.
(10) Seasonings can be brought, such as tofu, pickles and all kinds of sauces, but they are easy to sprinkle and bottles and cans are easy to break. Please be careful. Generally, domestic supermarkets have them here, so it is not recommended to bring them. Dry seasoning is ok, but California has not allowed peppers to enter the country in recent years, so friends who leave California should pay attention. And China supermarket in California can't buy peppers, so don't be surprised.
(1 1) Lentinus edodes, auricularia auricula, whatever. 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 food with you on the plane, leave the leftover fruits, meat and intestines on the plane, and don't bring them down.
Cigarettes and alcohol
The wine is 1000 ml, 200 cigarettes. Maotai Wuliangye is sold in China stores in the east and west of the United States. Excessive alcohol and tobacco can also be used, and so can tax returns. The tax on wine is not very high, about 4-5 dollars per bottle. Cigarettes are not particularly clear, but on the whole they are more cost-effective than buying them in the United States. The cigarette tax in the United States is very high. Cigars made in Cuba are not allowed.
Flat lighters can be put in hand luggage. Unless you have a DOT-approved box, you can't carry it with you or check it. Safety matches can be carried with 1 in hand luggage or hand luggage, but not in checked luggage. The safety of matches is that they must be struck when they are closed, not on the wall. At China Airport, it is still not allowed in many places, and American lighters are not expensive. I suggest you buy it when you come. In fact, smoking is not allowed in airports and planes, and it's also a leucorrhea with you.
Question 5: Can I bring tea to America? Of course I can. Gong.
Just write No in 1 1. The customs has very loose control over dry goods such as tea. For example, there are many restrictions on sending things by sea, so tea can be used.
As for Hong, I'm not sure. . .
Question 6: According to the latest regulations, tea can be transported to the United States by air? Tea can't be brought to America by plane. After arriving in the United States, I have been subject to food inspection and quarantine. I don't know if I have to pay the inspection and quarantine fee. Anyway, American tea must be checked when it enters China. If the pesticide residue is found by the US Customs, the confiscation of tea is very small, and I don't know how much it will be fined. If you are charged again, you will be in trouble. It's definitely a lot of money to get you out of jail in the United States and pay bail. Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars are common. There is no need to take the risk for a small bag of tea, not to mention that tea made in China can still be sold in the American market. Why bother?
Question 7: Can I bring tea and cigarettes to America? You can accept it, as long as it is not excessive. When I went to America before, it was no problem to put 3 kg of tea in my suitcase. I don't have any cigarettes, but I can put them in the suitcase, not too much.
Question 8: Can I bring tea to America? If possible, put it in the consignment. That's how I brought it as a gift. Some students brought scented tea.
In fact, the inspection is not strict. It is stipulated that you can't bring food, but as long as it is packaged and not too big, you can actually bring it.
The regulation of liquid is the same as that in China, and it is below 100 ml.
Knives and lighters are also not allowed.
Question 9: Can I bring tea into America? Of course I can.
Just write No in 1 1. The customs has very loose control over dry goods such as tea. For example, there are many restrictions on sending things by sea, so tea can be used.
As for Hong, I'm not sure. . .
Question 10: Can I take tea to America, as long as it's not too much? If I send tea gifts to foreigners, I suggest a simplified version, not a big box, the more convenient the better.
