蜆精

• 按照USDA規定，個人用量的魚、蝦、鮑魚和其他海鮮食品，包含新鮮、冷凍、乾燥、罐裝或調理過的皆可攜帶入境。所以，蜆精是可以攜帶入境。

中藥

• 許多人應該也有帶中藥的需求，其實中藥不能算是食品類，特別把它列在這，是因為我想應該有不少人跟我一樣，也有調理身體的需求。
• 中藥攜帶入境美國，原則上比照 FDA 對於藥品相關的管理規定，中藥需有處方簽或醫師所寫的英文說明，並且應保存於原本的包裝中，且貼有醫師的指示。攜帶入境的中藥量應為90天，如需要在美國待超過90天，於寄送入境的藥品包裹內應有服用者個人的簽證、護照、醫師的說明信及處方簽(英文)。

原文：In general, you should have with you a valid prescription or doctor’s note—written in English—to bring medication to the U.S. The medication should be in its original container with the doctor’s instructions printed on the bottle. If you don’t have the original container, bring a copy of your prescription or a letter from your doctor explaining your condition and why you need this medication. Travel with no more than you need for your personal use during your stay. A rule of thumb: Bring no more than a 90-day supply of medication.

If you’re staying longer than 90 days, you may have additional medication sent to you by mail or courier. Include documentation showing that the medication is being sent for your own use while visiting the United States. This documentation may include: a copy of your visa and passport, a letter from your doctor, and a copy of your prescription (in English). (FDA出處頁面)

• 並非所有中藥材都被允許攜帶入境美國，因此，也可能在確認中藥材成分後，被邊境人員拒絕攜帶入境美國。建議有需要的朋友，寫信詢問主管機關。
