We bring a cooler of frozen meat + other items every single time we go. And it's completely arbitrary whether we get charged a tax. When asked, I tell them it's $100 of meat and they ask for $10. Last time, I was asked, told her $100 of meat and she immediately got distracted by someone else and we were waived thru with no tax charged. Just depends on who's working that day ... and perhaps the attention span of the customs agent. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
