URGENT for anyone travelling to the US for the World Cup or any trip 🛫

Please read and share before you pack. 🙏

US Customs will seize these Nigerian foods at the airport — and if you don't declare them, you could be fined UP TO $1,000:

🚫 Kilishi — it's classified as a meat product. Will be confiscated.
🚫 Bushmeat — 100% banned. No exceptions.
🚫 Suya — even dried and vacuum-sealed, still a meat product.
🚫 Fresh peppers and vegetables — caught at agricultural inspection every time.
🚫 Iru and ogiri — flagged by the smell and seized.
🚫 Homemade puff puff, akara, chin chin — homemade food is not allowed.
🚫 Market-wrapped stockfish — loose packaging = very likely seized.

The rule that most Nigerians don't know:

ALWAYS DECLARE food items on your customs form — even if you're not sure whether it's allowed.

If you declare it and they decide to take it — no fine. You just lose the food.
If you DON'T declare it and they find it — fine of up to $1,000.

With the World Cup 2026 now happening in the US, SO many Nigerians are travelling right now. Please forward this to your group chats and save someone from a very expensive airport experience. 💙
