Mr. Kasumigusa

I think chicken and beef related were not allowed in the extract. Eggs are also no good.
Once, I brought home a small variety pack of furikake (sprinkled seasoning), but
there was a noritama in it, and they confiscated it because "this one is no good.

It's gotten very strict. When I see the word "egg" or "meat extract" I pull it out. The other day I put money on my card from Japan and they took that out too. In that case, I heard the claim is made in Japan.

Mr. Olive Oil
I am sorry to hear that your money was taken out. But I think
it is impossible to make a complaint in Japan ？ because in Japan, you are not allowed to send cash, etc. by regular mail
. In Japan, you are not supposed to send cash by regular mail .
I don't think you will be compensated
unless you send a cashier's check or an international money order or something like that.

#6 As Halo wrote, meat extract is also subject to confiscation.

I did not know that meat extract was not allowed and did not fill out the customs declaration form properly, but
my luggage was checked at the customs and confiscated.
Since then, I have been subjected to luggage checks when entering the U.S. for quite a while.
Apparently my record was flagged, and the immigration officer went to the trouble of closing the booth and attending me to customs.
Please be aware that the luggage check is a hassle every time.

By the way, just the other day, I entered Honolulu from Japan with a green card.
The immigration officer asked me a simple question about what food I brought back ？ and what was in it ？,
but no customs declaration form was submitted. I had no customs form to file. The same thing happened in June of the previous year.
I was not stopped at customs, so I just walked through.
I wonder if this is a temporary measure ～ ？

Koji, have you taken TSA pre-check or something ？
I hear it's a lot more through than you might think with that. No troublesome security checks
either. ？ ？ I thought it was OK, but it seems to be easy.
I also heard that global entry is similar, but
I haven't heard anything for sure, so I'm not sure.

Once the luggage is opened and there is something confiscated, it used to be
"Come here, come here~" for the next 10 years. In the case of my Noritama, the customs officer was like
"You know, some people bring this stuff without knowing it"
and I was like "Oh ？ this was not allowed ？ ？", so
I was surprised and it was only at that time. I think that's what it is. Even if it wasn't a big deal,
if the person was mean or had a bad temper, it would be recorded.

Halo,

I am not registered for anything in particular regarding entering the US.
So I'm not sure if it's so zaru ？ and I wonder if they do unannounced customs checks.
I didn't want to get into trouble with customs, so I made sure to check the meat extract of what I was bringing back, and I also made sure to follow the 1 liter limit for the amount of alcohol I was bringing back.

By the way, the following article says that Honolulu Airport has introduced a Simplified Arrival system, but it doesn't mention anything about customs.
https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/local-media-release/cbp-introduces-simplified-arrival-hnl-honolulu-hawaii

When I was there, I was really It was a fine, but it was probably not intentional, so I let it go this time.
But I guess the flag went up.
After a few years of being called out, I think the flag was lifted because I don't think they stopped saying it a little before Corona. Meat extract is really tricky because it's in so many different products.
Again, I have seen it in Japanese supermarkets.

I found the following site.

Reading the site linked to the customs page, I also understand that commercial products are ok.
I just wonder how well the customs officials at the airport understand this ～ and I'm not sure how much I should be worried.

When I returned at the end of the year,
consommé soup, baby star ramen, and
harusame soup were confiscated.

I was careful about meat products such as curry roux, but the eggs in the Harusame soup were out.
But mayonnaise and Tokyo bananas I bought as souvenirs were fine even though they contained eggs.

Sorry to hear about the consommé and baby star. They are both full of meat extract. The vermicelli soup, I believe the eggs scattered on the box were also in the picture. If there was no egg in the picture
I might have left it as it was without noticing it. Mayonnaise is fine. I don't remember where I saw it, but
I think it was on the TSA website, or the Agriculture, or the Quarentine website,
or whatever, but I saw it on the government website and thought, "Oh, it's okay." I remember thinking, "Oh, it's OK.
Tokyo Banana, but I don't think they regulate even the eggs in sweets.
If we said that, we wouldn't be able to bring in cookies or anything else.
I think it's the same as the yellowish eggs in Noritama.
Many of them are brought in without being noticed, so we have to be very
careful when bringing them back here.

My wonder is I would like to know what happened to that thing I pulled out.
I once heard a guy checking at the airport come to someone's party
and when he smoked a cigarette, he pulled out a lighter and
said, "You always have a lighter, don't you?
"I have a lot of confiscated lighters."
I once heard him say,
"That's true. I wonder if that's true ？ and if we all share them ？
I wonder if that's really true ？.

Mr. Olive Oil
Originally, it is disposed of. But there are people who borrow a little.
In Japan, it is strictly controlled and disposed of, but
it is not the same in other countries.
I think it is better to eat the food if it is food. It is a waste if it is thrown away. I would rather they eat it than throw it away.
Lighters are also confiscated because people bring too many lighters
which they are not allowed to bring, or because there are too many lighters in their carry-ons.
If I had checked in advance, I wouldn't have had them confiscated
because it was my fault.
By the way, I heard that it is quite difficult to dispose of lighters, so
you can't just throw them out there, so I guess you have to save them up to some extent
and then use them.
Even if they confiscate it, it doesn't mean that it is a prohibited item.

Sashimi, how about refrigerant for seafood in baggage,
things are frozen, but refrigerant is treated as water?

I will be freezing frozen sea urchins, etc. and putting them in a cooler bag, but it will be about 12:00 or so before I get on the plane
As for baggage, I think some water will be released when the food melts, but will it be possible to take it in baggage?

Take it to the airport with the frozen stuff and the refrigerant
I think the refrigerant is treated as liquid, so throw it away at the airport. Then just the frozen stuff will be fine. It will last until Hawaii. You can try everything.

I know that water droplets can form, but when I bring frozen food
I wrap it in a thin towel or hand towel and put it in a Ziploc bag.
The bag is not that big, but it is not that big
and I pack the frozen items very tightly in it, so they will stay
frozen until I get to Hawaii.

I have brought frozen tuna marinated in miso many times.
The store sold it frozen, so the refrigerant and bag were from the store.
I went to buy it on the morning of departure and brought it back to Hawaii. The coolant was gel
so I don't think it was liquid, but I think there was a little bit of water that had melted from the frozen stuff.
Of course the tuna was completely thawed, but it was marinated in miso so it was delicious.

Thank you all
I was able to bring it in safely.　I know they sell them in Hawaii, but I still wanted to feed my family a lot of delicious food for the same price, so I brought them in.
I froze them and put refrigerant in them, and the large foam steel was too high, so I used towels and a cold bag.
It wasn't as ticklish when it arrived, but it was still frozen.　I would like to use that method in the future.
