1. Be aware of every little thing you carry. If you carry packages for others, open the package and know what is in it.
2. Be aware of customs impact for every item. Some items are just not allowed. Some items are allowed within a limit. Know the limits.
3. Never make a false statement.
4. If you don’t understand the officer, ask to repeat or if you don’t understand English, don’t be ashamed to say that.

I was honest to tell had lot of processed food, none of which violates US Customs mandate.

This Govindarajalu was unprofessional and showing off his power asking to name every item in the bag, told him respectfully some of the items do not have English name for example gojju. Next he asked how many INR I was carrying for which I responded under 3000 INR, next how many USD I responded $20 all these were true statements.

He could not find any items which were violating the US custom rules.

These CPB office should treat customers with dignity rather than their forceful rude power show
