There are often questions as to what fruits, vegetables, and other foods from Mexico can be brought across the border.
Yesterday, I asked the border officer if he had that kind of list. The last one I got was back in 2001. It seems as nothing has changed, and this new
list was issued in 2009.
Anyway, as of April 25, 2017:
IF it is not on this list, it isn't allowed... such as oranges, apples, eggs (uncooked), uncooked chicken, pork (ham) lunchmeat (unless it is canned,
like Spam). Dirt (soil) is a NO-NO... wash the truck in Mexico if there is mud clinging to the underbody or excessive dirt anywhere.

Monday afternoon, in El Rosario, Car Wash 'El Popeye', Km. 57 marker, just north of Baja Cactus Pemex... 4 men worked on it... an exterior only wash
was just 120 pesos (I added a tip to this crazy low price). I had my truck washed there last month, as well:

Thanks for posting the list!

Fish isn't listed. I guess as long as you declare your stuff its up the the guy?David K - 4-26-2017 at 12:04 PM
You can declare Smut Gals???? Darn, I left mine in Tijuana !
I find it much better to leave them there. Serves two purposes, A) you don't have to deal with them 24/7 and B) you have something to look forward to
go back to, granted they are worthy of a lasting impression of course.BajaMama - 4-30-2017 at 08:04 AM
I am pretty sure caught and frozen fish is permitted. I always bring it back up and I always declare it at the border.
