Last year we went through US and Canadian customs a total of 6 times. Every crossing was different and of course different people. You cannot keep up with the changes, they don't post them.
The rules can change at any moment. and you are also at the mercy of whether the person had burnt toast that morning or it's a day that ends in Y.
I have been going through customs in various countries for 50 plus years, most recently Mexico.I never volunteer information, I only answer the question asked, no embellishments, always respectful.
It's a **** shoot every time you pass through. They can if they want to search, or not. Give you the 3rd degree or pass you through with a smile.
I have never had knowingly anything that wasn't okay.
But, they took my tomatoes going into Alaska from the Yukon(salad Day),
They took a lime, 1/2 of a lemon and 1 squash coming back to the US at Oroville, WA , they weren't on the current listing but what could I say.
So go in peace, and have fun. If it's salad day at the border, oh well!
