Hi
We are landing from the US and we will be bringing with us a little bit of grocery items already in use now, like rice, lentils, Spices, Gerber food jars, general medicines, Formula etc.
I was curious, is all the above allowed. I have a lot of baby food that my baby eats, I would hate to throw it away. Do we list it on the GTF list, or just put it in a box in the rear end of the trailor. Do the customs check each and every box?
Is there any number I can call and verify?
Thanks
