Regulations on clams at boarder

freediverbrian - 8-14-2017 at 06:20 PM

I can't find the list of prohibited items from Mexico to United States, and yes I did Google it . Want to know if I buy clams at fish market and have receipt can I bring across boarder?

I think every surfer should remain calm. (Sorry, I couldn't help myself) :biggrin:

Keep calm and carry on...

Thanks they tell you how much caviar but not clams

I've brought back clams out of the shell many times. No issues if you declare it. Personal amounts, whatever that means.

We had clams taken away from us at the Mexicali crossing with the claim they were contaminated. They came from San Felipe. However, this was some years ago.

I have taken clams back through San Luis, and never had an issue.

Taken them thru San Luis and didn't have an issue. Yes, I declared them.
