ive been to the philippines 9 years in a row(2000-2009) now and ive never got my dried fish,buko pies,suman and other filipino deserts searched or taken away from me at sfo..i remember bringing 15 buko pies back in 03 and the guy asked what kind of food and i told him buko pies...he said MMM and laughed..closest to have them check my boxs was when i forgot to check and circle food on the customs declarations form but they just asked what kind of food was there and let me go on.....canned foods, cooked deserts and dried fish ive never had any problems with

But dried mango is ok? How about Eng Bee Tin's hopia (these are in foil packets), Curly tops chocolate, and maggi Ginataang mais? Also, I am bringing 2 original PC games...how will they know if these are true or not? These are in their original containers and one game has the instruction booklets in it. DVD's....all original also in original containers...I am packing 10 of them in a door-to-door box. Will Customs open it when they see it in the custom's declaration?

Doesn't look like you can: http://www.reisetraeume.de/usa/tips/Einfuhr.html

that's a german website.

So, it still says you can't bring in those foods from most foreign countries.

you can't trust the germans!

Claudeth told me you could. She spend a year and a half there and believed everything all those German guys told her

i spent 8 years there, i never did trust them giving directions!

Probable not, because they know, because of regional coding, they probably won't play here in the US. I brought two PS2 games that looked real, but would not work in the US. I even declared them, but customs didn't even look. There are anti-piracy laws that might apply here.

These games and Dvd's came from there.
