I'm heading back to Korea tomorrow, and would love to stock up on delicious things I can't easily find over there.

But are there any restrictions on what I can pack in my luggage?

A friend said she had to eat up a whole box of Slim Jims before they let her on the plane for Hawaii. Would I face the same threat with any of the packaged or canned products I'd be trying to haul over to the ROK?

I took Slim Jims and canned foods to Korea on two occassions with no problems. One of my two checked luggage is for food such as spices, canned goods, and odds n ends. There's nothing like packing a little of America to a far flung place on the other side of the globe, especially for a long haul.

I once brought smoked meat (form an actual deli, wrapped in brown paper) over. I was surprised it worked. I did declare it as pork however. My suitcase smelled of meat for months...

You CAN bring processed, packaged or canned foods and spices.

You CANNOT legally bring fresh meat, fruits, vegetables, plants, clippings or seeds.
