Customs Agents can be so unreasonable and culturally insensitive!

I am continually amazed at how easygoing US Customs can be about the stuff I haul across the border from visits to Mexico. Numerous spices, dried goods (loose, not hygienically packed and sealed), baggies full of various mole mixtures, and cigars ("They're not Cuban, are they?" "Of course not." "OK, then.").

I don't know how much food I brought into the US from Italy a couple of years ago and I'm anticipating a substantial haul from Spain when I get home in October.

Will you be bringing the weather with you?

I'm not sure my partners would appreciate an addition to the family.

Besides, you can't bring fruits across the border.
