Bringing food items across the border – tariffs?
Posted date : Sep 10, 2025.
Does anyone know if and how much (in $) we can bring into the United States without paying a tariff? We want to bring down some foodstuffs such as soups, Melba toast, Clamato juice, etc. and we don’t want to be hit with a 25% duty/tariff when we cross the border to go to Florida in October.

Ed.: Commercially packaged and unopened food products being brought into the United States for personal consumption are generally not subject to tariffs. Just remember to declare it and don’t import meat products.
