| Products for Personal Consumption |
Federal inspection regulations permit the entry of small amounts of meat, poultry or egg products for personal consumption
9 CFR, Part 327.16,
381.207, and
590.960.
The amount of a personal consumption shipment cannot exceed 50 pounds for meat, poultry, or dried egg products and 30 pounds for
liquid or frozen egg products. The products must be for personal use only and cannot be sold or distributed in U.S. commerce.
Such products are exempt from FSIS import regulation, but they are subject to Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) animal
health requirements. These requirements change frequently, and travelers should contact APHIS for up-to-date information by visiting the website or calling (301) 851-3300.
All travelers entering the United States are required to declare any products of animal origin (including soup or
soup products) they may be carrying. The declaration must cover all items carried in checked baggage, carry-on luggage, or in a vehicle.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agriculture specialists at the ports of entry will examine the items and determine if
they meet the entry requirements of the United States. Additional information on bringing
agricultural products into the United States is available from CBP.
