Precautions for bringing articles into the United States:
I. Food (refined)
Condiments, vinegar, oil, bagged spices, honey, coffee and tea are allowed to be brought into the country. Because rice is often infested with insects, it can't be brought into the country, especially rice packed in sacks. Bagged food with unsafe appearance or contaminated appearance is not allowed to enter the country.
Second, fruits, vegetables and plants.
Don't bring fresh fruits or vegetables into the country. All plants or plant products, including handicrafts made of straw, whether they contain harmful substances or not, must be declared to the customs and border officials for inspection.
Three. Meat, livestock and poultry
Meat, livestock, poultry and their by-products are generally prohibited from entering the country, or restricted according to animal diseases in the country of origin. Canned meat products may be allowed to enter the country if inspection officials can confirm that the products are cooked and packaged commercially. Other canned and pickled meat products and dried meat products are strictly restricted from entering the country.

US Customs Entry Instructions:
At the port of entry, the immigration officer will check the documents and valid American visas held by immigrants, scan the fingerprints of immigrants and compare them with photos, review the reasons for going to the United States, and decide whether to allow the inspected to enter and stay in the United States. If the immigration officer has doubts about the entry purpose or documents held by the immigrants, or is randomly selected, the immigrants need to wait for inspection and further interviews in the second inspection area.
For students studying in the United States, American border inspectors sometimes check their student ID cards, transcripts and other materials. For those who forge, pretend to be students, or use their student identities to engage in other activities in the United States, the United States will further investigate and collect evidence.
Once verified, the parties concerned will be punished, including "original repatriation". It should be noted that holding a valid American visa does not guarantee entry, and immigration officials at the port of entry have the final decision on whether to allow entry.
At the port of entry, immigrants may be searched. At this time, the search personnel should be polite and conduct the search in a professional and respectful manner. Otherwise, migrants can report to the Director of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and seek help.
