Traveling to America? Declare All Food Items or Face Rs 42,000 Penalty!

Washington (Uttam Hindu News): Custom and Border Police has issued an advisory for passengers going to America. People going to America will have to give every information about their luggage. CBP has issued a warning saying that if you carry meat, fruits, vegetables, plants, seeds, soil, any animal or things made from plants and animals to America, then it will be necessary to give information about it. Failure to do so can result in a fine or jail.

CBP has also shared a picture with the post, in which the dog is seen identifying a meat. The meat is a pig's head, which is wrapped in aluminum foil. According to the CBP rules, all passengers coming to America will have to share information about the meat, fruits, vegetables, plants, animals, soil and seeds brought with them. It is necessary to give information about all the things included in the passengers' bags, luggage and vehicle. After this, CBP officials will decide whether to allow this stuff to be carried or not? If a passenger violates the rules of CBP, he may have to pay a heavy fine. For hiding the information of the items present in the bag, a fine of $ 1000 (about Rs 84,000) may have to be paid for the first time.

Let us tell you that in March this year, a similar case came to light from JKF Airport in America. A TikToker who arrived in America from Singapore told the customs that there was no such thing in his bag. However, while leaving the airport, the dog squad of the border agent started sniffing his bag. A banana was found when the bag was searched. The TikToker said that he did not remember anything about it. During this time, CBP imposed a fine of $ 500 (about Rs 42,000) on him for hiding information.
