Tariffs on personal food items brought to U.S
Posted date : Dec 16, 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 like 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.: As far as we know, Canadians have not been charged any tariffs on personal food items in their possession when entering the United States. Just remember that importing ruminant meat products into the U.S. is prohibited.
