π‘ Food Courier Shipments: Houston's Prior Notice Reminder!
Carrying food for delivery to customers or other recipients is subject to commercial import requirements, even when it arrives as passenger baggage.
Food courier shipments without proof of timely FDA Prior Notice cannot leave the port with the traveler and are subject to immediate re-export by the arriving carrier.
π This notice addresses the Houston passenger environment. Filing after arrival does not resolve the missing timely Prior Notice for the food courier shipments described.
Arrange entry documentation and applicable FDA filings before travel, and retain the confirmation for presentation.
