mishy79065 Posted November 29, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2015 We are going to Columbia and Costa Rica in a few weeks. I'm most excited about coffee from these areas. I tried to look on the US customs site, but it's honestly so confusing. The threads I found in the forums seems to be a few years old as well. I just want to make sure I'll be able to bring coffee back into US and what those limits may be. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted November 29, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 29, 2015 We bought coffee in the ports several times & declared them on the customs/immigration form when entering Florida It was no problem we were not leaving them in the USA & the Canadian Officials did not have a problem either If worried I suppose you could call & check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbees Posted December 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I have brought back coffee from the Caribbean and Central America at least 15 times, and have never had an issue. Normal for me is to bring back 5-10 half kilo bags. I know nothing about Canada, but bringing back coffee in the USA is a non issue. FYI, I strongly prefer Costa Rica to almost all others. There is also a Panama coffee plantation that is on the Costa Rica boarder that has great coffee. I also take a french press with me so I can drink the coffee on the ship.

Rare Keith1010 Posted December 11, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 11, 2015 You can bring coffee back to the USA and no limits other than in counts towards the $800.00 per person that USA citizens can bring back without paying any duty.

adirondak camper Posted February 13, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 13, 2016 There are a few better brands, but not sold in tourist areas, so for everyday quality, I like 1820 brand. It's sold in gift shops for twice the grocery store price, but on a tour it might be hard to shop at a grocery store (super) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
