NAYRT but there's a lot of laws and regulations about bringing produce and other agricultural products into the US. it's not that you can't bring them, but you can't just bring them in, like, your luggage or whatever - they have to be inspected or licensed or something. there's a whole process.

it's generally to prevent the spread of invasive species, diseases, fungi, parasites, things like that. if you ever visit the US, there's usually a whole section about it on the customs form.

Huh. It makes sense if someone plans to plant something. Otherwise, I'm not sure I understand why fungi and such is a problem - if one just eats the produce. There were some cses of something happening I guess.

I think a lot of it is better safe than sorry.

And I think it's also the kind of thing where... you're a lot less likely to be dinged for something like OP where it's almost certainly not a problem, but it's good to have the rules and strictures around it for slightly larger cases.

Good point, sound reasoning!
Though If I were to be caught I'd hate this law, I imagine.)

Fungi spread very easily. They're why we might lose the banana.

Banana is fungi resistant because it has a natural wrapping, namely peel. It's very clean. I haven't once seen any fungi on it like you can find on berries or tomatoes... Ehh, what were we talking about again? Castoms?)
