Customs and Import Restrictions
Customs Restrictions of Foreign Destinations –
What You Cannot Take to Other Countries:
Many countries have restrictions on what may be
brought into the country, including food, pets and
medications. Even over-the-counter medications
may be prohibited in some countries.
Check with the embassies of your destination countries as to prohibited items. Some
items may not be brought into the U.S., or may only be brought in under certain
restrictions.
There are special rules for products made from endangered wildlife. Many wildlife and
wildlife products are prohibited either by U.S. or foreign laws from import into the United
States, and you risk confiscation and a possible fine if you attempt to bring them into
the U.S. when you return.
Watch out for the following prohibited items:
All products made from sea turtles
All ivory, both Asian and African elephant, and rhinoceros
Furs from spotted cats
Furs from marine mammals
Feathers and feather products from wild birds
Most crocodile and caiman leather
You may import an object made of ivory if it is an antique. To be an antique the ivory
must be at least 100 years old, and you will need documentation that authenticates the
age of the ivory. You may import other antiques containing wildlife parts under the
same conditions: they must be accompanied by documentation proving they are at
least 100 years old. Certain other requirements for antiques may also apply.
