Stroopwafels and other kinds of baked goods, such as breads, cookies, cakes and bakery items
Oliebollen

C. Alcoholic Beverages
Nonresidents who are at least 21 years old may bring in, free of duty and internal revenue tax, up to one liter of alcoholic beverage - beer, jenever, Beerenburg, kruidenlikeur, advocaat, wine, liquor - for personal use. Quantities above the one-liter limitation are subject to duty and internal revenue tax.

In addition to U.S. federal laws, the traveler must also meet state alcoholic beverage laws which may be more restrictive. If the state in which you arrive permits less liquor than you have legally brought into the United States, that State's laws apply to your importation of alcoholic beverages.

The shipment of alcoholic beverages by mail is prohibited by United States postal laws.

D. Tobacco
You are permitted to bring 100 cigars or 200 cigarettes (one carton) into the U.S. duty free. Cuban cigars are prohibited.

E. Bulbs (bloembollen)
Bringing bulbs to the U.S.? Look for an official white sticker on the package that says:

"To the Plant Protection Service of the United States and Canada"
The botanical name
The date of issuance of the sticker

If the sticker is not there, the bulbs will be seized.
