The easiest way to do the crossing...is to take nothing across. The more you have, the higher the likelihood of getting the "Border Officer Stink Eye". You are crossing for a week..maybe two? Buy as needed...a couple days worth of veggies, meat, etc each time. It just makes for a tension free crossing. On the other hand..if you try and figure out what you can take, cant take, maybe take...look how much stress. And for what?
However..should you have a full larder and they keep some of it...you will get the lecture and the huffy sounds..but then you are on your way. Sorta like the scolding from mom..you know its awful but when its over..its over. No one is getting spanked or arrested over some fruit or cat food. They will make you feel like a crook, maybe search your vehicles, seize whatever and wave you on your way.
Mind you..if you have weapons at home? and they find a shell, or holster, or gun case...then...you may be a while.
