Bring it on home...

You're guaranteed to return home with new skills, new friends, and memories following your time abroad. If your like me, you may also find yourself with a trinket or twelve.

You should know the rules ahead of time if you’re planning on returning to the US with an artifact or expensive souvenirs. For instance, some objects are banned from exiting some countries or may be banned from entering others. To increase your frustrations, these rules can even differ between states (just try shipping wine into Pennsylvania!).

For details on bringing souvenirs and artifacts home with you, or even shipping them, visit www.cbp.gov. Happy purchasing!
