The US Customs Declaration Card. line 11: I am bringing (a) fruits, vegetables, plants, seeds, food, insects (b) meats, animals, ....(c) disease agents...(d) soil... Yes No.
See line (a), item 5? It makes no sense but there it is.
So, when the inspector found that Mrs. B1 had a cracker in her pocket and I hadn't checked "Yes" on line 11, he went into a rant and gave us a stern warning. Gum also counts as food.
