Yes, your mangoes will get through the airport if you will declare it BUT prepare to pay $100 PER MANGO and yes, that is base from the experience of my hubby going back to US from PI. Of course, hubby didn't want to pay that much for mangoes so he end up giving all his 3 kls. of mangoes to his flight seatmates and they were all happy :lol:

Was that in chicago? That was where they took the mangos I had (yes I had declared them). If he was going through customs I don't think he'd be given a choice to pay a fee OR give them to the other passengers... so I'm guessing he must have been told that information while on the plane still? I'm just curious, doesn't change what I said, best not to have anything you think you have to declare because even at a minimum, it's an extra hassle at the airport (and obviously $100 for a mango is too much)!

hi POE was Hawaii. He was already warned in the PI before he leaves but he still insisted to bring them on his flight but then when he was n the plane, he realized how much expensive those mangoes will be lol so he just gave it to his flight seatmates :)

I actually made it through with mangoes and didn't declare them. I must have got lucky. They were really soft by the time I made it home and had to throw them away

they sell all that stuff here in America . mangos and dried fish ..... why would you pack that when you can buy it here ? i seriously dought they will let you bring the fruit because they wont even let you bring fruit when you cross the Mexican border into America. there are many Philipino markets here in the U.S. where i live., good luck !
