If you have ever traveled outside the United States, you
encountered the U.S. Customs and Border Protection on
your way back home. You probably are most familiar with
the role of these uniformed men and women in checking
that declaration form you filled out on the airplane and
examining people's luggage to be sure nothing illegal is
tucked inside. You may have also learned more about
customs laws -- the hard way! Did you have to give up
that fresh apple you brought along in your carry-on bag?
Or maybe that new medication you brought back because it
was available over-the-counter in your destination
country (and unavailable without a prescription at
home)?
In this edition of How Stuff Works, we'll answer these
questions and others designed to help you prepare for
your next international trip by explaining how customs
works. Since customs laws vary so much from one country
to the next, we'll focus on the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection and some of the laws that govern what you can
and cannot bring back into the U.S.. And if you thought
that all U.S. customs officers do is stand around at
airports or border stations and look through people's
bags, you'll be surprised by the far-reaching activities
of this government agency, which enforces 600 laws for
more than 60 different government agencies and prevents
thousands of cases of drug smuggling each year.
