This actually a good question. If you are travelling from Canada to the U.S., you cannot take fruits, vegetables , meat across the border.
The only limitation coming into Canada is on alcohol.
As to WHY : food is a LOT cheaper is the U.S.
I totally disagree with the above statement. I always cross into US with a full fridge and freezer. Certain things are not allowed - do your homework and know the rules and you won't have problems.
We live in Southern Ontario and use 2 different border crossings - Michigan and NY. Other areas of Canada might be a bit different but we travel extensively and have not had problems. Know the rules!
I suggest YOU do your homework and learn the rules !
I have crossed the border several times into Montana, Washington and Idaho. We have always been asked about fruit , veg , and meat. We had a handful of grapes taken away once.
U.S. customs in the N.W. are very strict on these items.
