China Beijing Customs sometimes checks pirated CDs, but Shanghai Customs generally doesn't. If your plane flies from Beijing to Shanghai and then to the United States, you usually check your luggage in Beijing.
About the U.S. Customs, some people say that he brought everything, and it's all right. If he doesn't get it, you're in trouble. Always open the box for inspection, show them, and pass the customs smoothly every time. In addition, I talked to the customs, and the following are some experiences.
The customs in the United States don't check CDs. If you carry pirated CDs like this, throw away all the skins and put them in a CD bag, and no one will know what it is. If you have packaging and software from the United States, such as windows, which is unpacked and inspected in the United States, you are finished. Or pirated American movies. Generally speaking, if you bring a small amount of things that may be confiscated, a large amount will be suspected of human trafficking, and you may be fined or imprisoned. If you like packaging, China's games, movies and DVDs are not allowed by the US Customs, because not knowing whether they are genuine or pirated will not affect the interests of American companies. CDs are duty-free and do not need to be declared.
Generally speaking, the unpacking inspection here is a spot check. Generally, a few people choose one, and they may all choose food. You need to add something when you declare on the plane, and I'll talk about how to fill it out later. If you want to bring food, you must declare it, otherwise it may not be the first time to be caught, but if you are unlucky, you may be fined and imprisoned. And once caught, it will be checked frequently in the future. If cash and traveler's checks exceed $65,438+0,000 yuan, they must be declared, otherwise they will be confiscated. If you report it, you won't be taxed. Just register.
Packaging is generally like this, there are no clear rules, but you should be careful not to spill it on your luggage. Many people misunderstand that vacuum sealing is wrong. If you don't want to bring anything, you can bring something with you in vacuum sealing or unsealing.
The specific food is like this:
All chicken, duck, goose, pig, cow, sheep, deer and horse meat are not allowed. Whether sealed or vacuum, dozens of plastic bags are still covered.
Whether you're fluffy, sausage, moon cakes, biscuits, ham, canned meat, bacon, sauce meat, fresh meat, preserved meat, dried meat, patties and meat stuffing jiaozi. . .
Not even.
In rare cases, eating meat may be okay:
That is to say, if it is a sealed can and clearly marked in English on the trademark as cooked, the can can be kept for a long time without freezing. But the rules keep changing. It's only possible. But I don't think there is anything delicious in such canned food. Lunch meat is available in America.
And these are all available in the United States, and they are not too expensive. Of course, depending on which city you went to, San Francisco and Los Angeles basically have everything. Authentic ham is hard to find. There is one. There is a chain store called Cordyceps City in the San Francisco Bay Area. His ham is ok, and so are other dry goods.
Fish, all kinds of fish can be used, such as fish floss, dried fish, canned fish, raw fish ... one of my buddies brought me raw fish, sealed it in a bag and refrigerated it. The people at the airport checked it and let it go. Live fish look down. Caviar is limited to 250 grams, and it will be confiscated if it exceeds 250 grams.
Dairy products are generally ok. Including yogurt and cheese, but because it is liquid, it has to be checked.
Bean products are ok, such as dried beans and fermented bean curd.
Eight-treasure porridge is OK, but it is also available in supermarkets in China and the United States.
Fruit, all fresh fruits are not allowed. It's best to dry it in a sealed way, that is, in a plastic bag in the factory, and don't vacuum it.
Dried fruit can do anything. I used to bring 10 bag of melon seeds and 30 bags of small walnuts every time. There are melon seeds here, but there are few small walnuts.
If there is yolk or meat in the moon cake, it is not allowed to bring it. Other kinds of moon cakes are ok. If there are clear instructions in the mooncake box, you don't need to open it, otherwise.
Customs officers can not only open the box, but also cut the moon cakes for inspection. If someone wants to take advantage of the loopholes, it may not be feasible to get a fake trademark, because the meat can be seen by scanning.
If you cut it open and find meat in it, you'll be in bigger trouble. Eat more in China. Besides, you can buy salted egg yolk moon cakes in China's populous cities, but you haven't seen them yet.
Meat moon cakes are on sale. In some parts of the United States, there are jiaozi selling meat stuffing. They are made in America.
Seasoning can be brought, such as tofu, pickles and various sauces, but it is easy to spill and bottles and cans are easy to break. Everyone should be careful. Generally, domestic supermarkets have them here, so it is not recommended to bring them.
Dry seasoning is ok, but California has not brought peppers in these years, so friends who leave California should pay attention. And China supermarket in California can't buy peppers, so don't be surprised.
Mushrooms, fungus and so on. The dried compressed auricularia auricula in Northeast China is very good. It is convenient to deliver it after you come.
If you take something to eat on the plane, leave the leftover fruit, meat and intestines on the plane, and don't bring them down.
Cutters can be checked, regardless of customs. You'd better bring one or two big kitchen knives, Zhang Xiaoquan's or hemp seed's. Sharpened stones can be bought in China or Korean supermarkets, grocery stores or American hardware stores, ACE.
One problem is that many times there are no particularly small clothes. Thin students try to bring enough clothes.
If you are an MBA, you should bring at least one formal suit. I suggest you wear a black suit. Ties and shoes. Of course.
Personal medicine is optional. Of course, no marijuana or anything. Of course, these are illegal in China, but don't bring too much. I still have the medicine my mother brought me 10 years ago:)
In terms of alcohol and tobacco, liquor 1 1,000 ml, 200 cigarettes. Maotai Wuliangye is sold in China stores in the east and west of the United States.
Excessive alcohol and tobacco can also be used, and so can tax returns. The tax on wine is not very high, about 4-5 dollars per bottle.
Cigarettes are not particularly clear, but on the whole they are more cost-effective than buying them in the United States. The cigarette tax in the United States is very high.
Cigars made in Cuba are not allowed.
A flat lighter can be put in hand luggage. A leaky lighter can't be carried or checked unless you have a DOT-approved box.
Safety matches can be carried in hand luggage with 1, but not in checked baggage.
The safety of matches is that they must be struck when they are closed, not on the wall.
At China Airport, it is still not allowed in many places, and American lighters are not expensive. I suggest you buy it when you come.
In fact, smoking is not allowed in airports and planes, and it's also a leucorrhea with you.
Ceramics can be used, but the U.S. government reminds everyone that some China ceramics have not been tested, and the lead content seriously exceeds the standard. If it is tableware, it may cause poisoning.
Anything made of cat skin or dog skin is strictly prohibited from being imported. If you have any dog skin mattress gloves or something that looks like dog skin, you'd better not bring them.
Gold used to be limited, but now it is gone. All kinds of gold coins and gold bars can be used, and the quantity is not limited.
Ordinary small household appliances, such as notebook computers, rice cookers, CD players, razors, etc. , are tax-free and do not need to declare. Of course, if you bring 3-4 CD players, no one will believe that you are using them. However, electricity in the United States is 1 10 volts. If you bring electrical appliances, you should also bring a transformer.
Generally speaking, the United States has everything and it is convenient to buy anything. I advise you not to bring these things.
I don't recommend that you bring a notebook or use the Chinese version of windows, but if you must use it, remember that the plug of your computer must be one of two crew cut, not a three-way plug or two round sticks, which is not acceptable in the United States. Suggest going to the local electronics market, the one with two flat heads. Some people say I'm lazy. I bring a wiring board. The question is, can you run around with a patch panel every day? How troublesome it is.
It is recommended to bring 1-2 network cable. It is also available in the United States, but it may be inconvenient for you to buy it when you just arrive. It costs a few dollars to 10 yuan here.
Wiring is not recommended unless you have it at home, and the power supply is 1 10-220. Sure, you can take this.
Let's talk about duty-free goods.
Duty-free goods refer to goods that are duty-free in China, not after you fly to the United States. If it's not for your own use, you still have to pay taxes. The things in it are cheaper, so you can have a look.
About pets:
There is no tax and there are additional inspections, so it may take a long time to enter the country.
Cats and dogs can be brought in if they don't look sick. Contact your airline and ask how to carry them. If there seems to be a problem, you have to pay for it yourself, and the customs will find a licensed veterinarian to check it. You can only bring it in if there is no problem.
In addition, if it is a dog, you need to have a rabies vaccine certificate, and you need English or English translation. It should be able to identify dogs, injections and expiry dates of vaccines. If there is no expiration date, even if it is 1 year, it will be signed by the veterinarian. If dogs enter Hawaii or Guam, they should be isolated for a period of time before being released.
You can take up to seven turtles, including turtle eggs.
Rabbits, Dutch pigs, squirrels, minks and chipmunks can all be brought in directly.
Live fish should fill in the following form, USA.
fish
And wildlife form 3- 177 (import declaration
Or an exit
Of fish or wild animals),
It may be necessary to pay inspection fees for individual ports.
Birds have to be quarantined for 30 days before they can pass the customs, and the fees must be paid in advance, and you have to call in advance to make an appointment. Only three ports can bring live birds into this country.

Los Angeles, California, phone number: 3 10.725. 1970.
You should also fill in America.

And wildlife form 3- 177.
Finally, I advise you to bring whatever you want to report. If you bring anything illegal, just report it and confiscate it at most.
There will be no fines and jail time. If you don't report it, you may be found out. Generally speaking, customs are reasonable, and no one wants to make things difficult for you. Things you usually bring, contraband brought in because you don't know the situation,
If it is not within the scope of customs declaration, if it is a small amount, it will be confiscated at most.
Don't worry too much.
Do not carry liquids and creams, such as perfume, shampoo, toothpaste, lipstick, lip gloss, mascara, etc. If you take it with you,
Each small package cannot exceed 100ml. Pay attention to the packaging, not the water inside. Then everything should be put in a quarter plastic bag. These things can be checked. Size is not important. I brought six shampoos last time, and it's nothing to open the bag for inspection.
In addition, these things are allowed in the United States, and there may be other requirements for going through customs in China. Customs requirements vary from country to country and often change. Generally speaking, Canada is stricter than the United States.
Don't worry about what the United States wants because of other countries, and don't think that other countries can pass because the United States allows it.
