At LAX upon entry ….

Question

I would like to know,
When entering the U.S. after a temporary return to Japan, recently it seems that you can come out directly after picking up your suitcase without customs inspection, but
I have heard that you may be asked if you are carrying food at the immigration.
If I say I have food, do they also ask what I have in detail? ？ I always buy various kinds of food, but I bring things like consommé that I can't bring in and soup noodle items that I can't. I'm nervous about it.
I have been fine in the past, but has anyone had their luggage opened at LAX recently? ？ What do they ask you and what do you say?

I thought it would be a separate room or Criminal Records … , that's what I thought would happen.
I am sure they usually bring back food and souvenirs and confiscate the bad ones.
Thank you for telling me. I am glad that the declaration form is gone and customs inspections, such as baggage inspection, are easier.

If you have something you are not allowed to bring in, of course it will be confiscated/fined on the spot. The fine is not cheap. You will be asked to submit your passport and it will be entered into a computer. A record will be kept, so every time you pass through the US, you will be subject to careful inspection afterwards for an indeterminable period of time. This is because you have a criminal record. Also, LAX is often referred to as a spot check, where all passengers and crew on a given flight are subjected to an X-Ray inspection. If you are not confident, don't bring it with you. If you underestimate the U.S. system, it will all come back to you. Prohibited items include all meats, dried goods, fruits, and vegetables, but it depends on the country you are bringing and the circumstances of that country at that time. If you are interested, you can ask the next time you pass through. You may also be able to find the information yourself on the web page. When chicken flu was popular before, all eggs, even cooked ones, were not allowed. Now, if you are coming from Japan, chirashi-sushi with egg may be okay, but we cannot be responsible for it, so please do so at your own risk. The reason for the regulations is to protect the basis of agriculture in the country and to protect livestock from diseases from other countries. In agricultural countries, such as Australia, if a prohibited item is found, it should be banned from entering the country on the spot. It is not worth the risk to bring them with you, but if you don't know you have them, you can declare that you have them and go to the X-rays yourself to show them, and if they are not found, they may just be confiscated. I think the first thing to do is to follow the rules and regulations of the country you are in.

When the fruit was found, I was fined.　I made a lot of excuses and got the amount of money I could pay, but sometimes confiscation is not enough.
