POE question.

[beck26 1]

hello everyone, i'm leaving for US on april 10 to marry my fiance, i just need help on these questions about the POE.

1. my fiance requested me to bring some foods and cosmetics only found in our country and i'm planning to use my check-in luggage for it...would this be a problem at the POE? i'm bringing stuffs like biscuits, chocolate bars and sour cream powder, and polvoron (it's a filipino pastry), as well as eyeliners, colognes and soaps that she requested.

would this be a problem at the POE at all?

i was told at the CFO seminar that food are allowed as long as:

1. it won't be spoiled within 24 hours.

2. no fruits and veggies.

3. no foul smelling stuffs.

4. and liquids (to be hand carried) needs to zip-locked and must not exceed 100ml.

i really would appreciate your feedbacks, i wanted to bring every thing my fiance requested since she already bought everything i need upon arriving US (clothes, phone etc.) and it's my little way of thanking her.

thank you very much.

Moved from K-1 to regional forums as this is not K-1 process question but a POE regional question.

Shouldnt be a problem unless you have massive amounts. If you are worried just write it on your customs form -- dont have to be specific can just write "cosmetics - $50" or whatever. I believe they wont charge duty on it if its under I think $500? total in items that you are bringing in as long as they dont have reason to believe you intend to sell the stuff. The liquids/gels guideline only pertains to pre-boarding, and not POE.

Last time we went, we took lots of Pasalubong, and came back with more dried fish, awful corned beef, chips and all kinds of stuff --no problem

Should not have any problem.

Safe flight and welcome to US soon!

My wife and I are also leaving for the US on April 10th. She packed tons of that kind of stuff in our baggage, including a gigantic bag of concentrated calamansi powder. From what you say, I think you'll be fine with what you're bringing. If you see a white guy with a lot of tattoos in the airport that's probably me; good luck

me brought some delicacies like tamarind candy, dried mangoes, polvorone, and some other sweet treats put them all in my check-in luggage, you can check in liquids more than 100ml just make sure it's sealed well like put each big bottle in a ziploc bag then sealed with duct tape. and also to make sure try to check on your airline guidelines to make sure.
