Honestly, I could see how this sort of thing could mentally slip past. When I read “Are you bringing any food into the country?” on the customs sheet, I’m thinking of stuff that I’ve intentionally bought to bring back — Swiss chocolate, for example.<\/p>\n

But a snack from the plane? That’s not “food” (or at least not “food I am bringing into the country”) as a mental category. It’s … plane stuff.<\/p>\n

Except it is<\/i> food, of course, and failing to report it can lead to a fine and possible loss of further privileges.<\/p>\n
