USA travelers, please pay close attention to import regulations
02/05/2018 08:00

U.S. Customs and Border Protection take the import regulations exactly. An official became aware of an apple in her purse when an American woman entered the country. Since the lady had not declared the apple, U.S. Pat. Customs and Border Protection officials fined over $ 500. In this case, the American woman was fortunate enough to be fined up to 10,000 US dollars.

Please note the US import regulations. In addition to fruit, food such as u.a. Meat and vegetables are declared at import. This also affects the fruit, which is served on board the aircraft.

Best regards

Your DVKG team
