Hi Michele and friends, The airports sell vacum packed refrigerated Smoked Salmon. In the past we've always wanted to purchase it to bring home but are worried it won't last without refrigeratation. Are we permitted to bring this item to the States? And it will travel 8 hours without refrigeration.
US Customs allows you to bring in packaged fish...purchase it in the duty free shop at the airport...it should be fine in your carry-on. I have done it with good results...and I brought it back all the way to Arizona. I recall that they sold small insulated type bags in duty-free...same area as the salmon... to pack it in...which would also keep it cold
