You’d never think that a carton of eggs would cause a problem at our border crossing, but CBP is asking travelers not to cross eggs into the United States.
SAN DIEGO — You would never think that a carton of eggs would cause a problem at our border crossing, but Customs and Border Protection officials are asking travelers not to bring eggs into the U.S.
CBP's Director of Field Operations in San Diego said border officers are seeing an increase in uncooked eggs at the U.S.-Mexico border, and the director reiterated that doing so is not allowed.“I’d like to be a chicken that way I can do it better and [for] less price," she said.“That price? One dozen for $10.99. Wow! For two dozen its going to be $22. So, I’m not going to make it with my budget. No," she said.
The rising prices of eggs are impacting shoppers' pockets. This time last year, a dozen eggs was less than $2 on average in the United States. Right now, at one store in San Ysidro, a dozen eggs is priced at $7.99.Ramos thought twice before buying eggs and decided against it. Food distributors blame the drastic spike in prices is because of a bird flu outbreak and supply issues.Trying to cross uncooked eggs from Mexico into the U.S. without telling a CBP officer is illegal and it could cost you up to $10,000.
The San Diego Field Office has recently noticed an increase in the number of eggs intercepted at our ports of entry. As a reminder, uncooked eggs are prohibited entry from Mexico into the U.S. Failure to declare agriculture items can result in penalties of up to $10,000. pic.twitter.com/ukMUvyKDmL
