Certain things are fairly obvious inclusions when it comes to items prohibited from crossing any state lines, such as illegal drugs, hazardous materials, firearms and ammunition, acids and treatment chemicals, certain food products, and illegal substances like absinthe and Rohypnol.

Items You May Not Have Known Were Prohibited at Customs

Many countries have restrictions on what you can bring into that country. These restrictions may include food, pets, and medications.
