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.

I like to take seasoned meat, prepped at home, and vacuum packed. Frozen and packed for trip works great (Polar Bear Cooler). I do this not only to assure quality meat, but the vac-packed assures the freezer/cooler remains clean and if you forget to thaw, vac-pack tossed in bucket of sea water takes care of that in short order. Then ready to place on the grill. Also avoids having to prepare food in the galley, with clean up.

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
