Taking Lobster to US

Bronco - 10-25-2008 at 07:17 AM

When we absolutely,positively need to travel to the US we take our motorhome. As owners of MH's know at the linea you must pull over near secondary and get checked for agriculture products. Also they will confiscate other food stuffs without US labels. We have had meat and chicken confiscated. Fish is not a problem and I'm wondering if Lobster might end up on the plate of a custom agents dinner table?

stuff from the ocean is supposed to be okay for personal use, as opposed to commercial.

used to fly out of fullerton airport to ensenada grab a taxi to the fish market buy about 50 or 60 lobster's fly back to brown field go thru customs than back to fullerton by noon. they would ask why so many i would tell them we were having a b-bq no paperwork but maybe it'a change now (there would be four pepole on the plane)

This paperwork is called a Guia and you need it to bring lobster or abalone back and it needs to be in your name and official from the coop you obtained the lobster from...and say how many kilos which the one scanned here does not have on it. The checkpoints will ask for this guia and things could get nasty for you if you dont have it...it's a federal offense so think carefully about the risks involved. More and more they are checking coolers now.
