Should not be a problem transiting the US. Expect 10% duty in he BVI. I would limit it to the salmon, a spice kit and any specialty foods. The beef selection on island is good to excellent and there is a wide selection of deli meats. Prices will be about 30-40% higher but the baggage fees and customs counter some of that. Most cheeses are European sourced and in many cases below US prices.

WE occasionally bring down several large beef Tenderloins in our luggage - frozen and and wrapped securely - never had a problem. You won't be able to bring in fresh fruit. cheers Brian

I bring home-prepared meals, specialty cheeses, and meats from my favorite local butcher almost every time I visit, and have never been charged duty. I smile, greet the customs officer politely, declare what I have, and get waved through. Sometimes they DO ask what time to come over for dinner. Felix
