Food items from other countries are not allowed to be brought into the United States in order to prevent the transfer of animal and plant pests and disease carried by the food to U.S. crops and livestock. Restricted items include meats, fruits, vegetables, plants, soil, and products made from animal or plant materials.

These highly contagious animal diseases may cause severe damage to livestock and create loss in production, therefore, resulting in increased costs for meat and dairy products. Even if you are visiting the United States and going on Florida Miami vacations, do not bring food products from your country on your Florida Miami vacations. The prohibited food products brought through the Miami Airport, will be set aside and left at the Miami Airport. For more information, visit the cbp.gov.
