📝 Important Notes
- •Most dried fruits are not allowed without meeting special plant-health requirements. APHIS lists dates, figs and raisins as generally allowed dried products, subject to declaration and inspection. Commercial packaging or removal of seeds does not create a blanket exemption. For other dried fruits, check the APHIS Agricultural Import Requirements Database for the product and origin, or contact APHIS before travel. Keep labels and receipts. This guidance concerns personal baggage; special Hawaii and Puerto Rico restrictions may apply.
