Callling all Californians...

I wanted to ask if anyone can answer a question.. When traveling into California from Florida, can you bring fresh fruit into the state? My sister was told they could not take Florida or Louisiana fresh fruit across the state line. She only is taking fruit for them to eat on the way... nothing extra...

I don't see why not. They won't be passing through customs. No one will ever really know what they have in the car

When I cross state line from Nevada they never check but I am really not sure, I can't imagine why it would be a problem.

California fruit

Check this site. Looks to me like you can't bring in fruit but it's not really enforced. I know it is checked at international airports but I've never had any issue otherwise.

I think if you are flying in, anything the airport finds they are gonna confiscate just on policy/paranoia.

If you are driving, you could have a trunk full of cocaine bricks, and we'd never know it.

You're not supposed to, but if you're in a car they will never check. I've driven in and out of the state and unless you're stopped by highway patrol or a border checkpoint, there's five here in San Diego, they will never know. If they are flying then it may be a different story and I'd check with the airline that they are booked on.
