They Took My Tangerines!

Many years back, I was crossing into the USA at the Detroit border and the guard asked if I had any meat or fruit. I did have a few lovely tangerines I had carefully chosen and purchased for this little road trip and I told him so. I never saw them again. The moral of the story is be aware of what you can and cannot bring into the USA. The general rule is pre-packed food items are ok but here is a link to the US homeland security website that gives you all you need to know about this http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/vacation/kbyg/prohibited_restricted.xml#FoodProductsPrepared
