Also, if you want to bring more than 1 liter of strong alcohol, you could put one liter in your luggage and buy 1 liter at the duty-free (then put it in a bag and buy one more liter on the on-board duty-free...). Of course, it's just theoretical, and you should abide by the law...

Going through U.S. Customs Visitors who are at least 21 years of age may bring the following into the USA: 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 2 kilograms (4.4 lbs.) of tobacco; 1 liter of alcohol; gifts to the value of $100. Different restrictions will apply to returning US residents and citizens. Do a Google search and find the same info REMEMBER 1 liter is ONE LITER - no matter where you buy it and where you pack it So beware of the advice you get about stashing bottles in baggage and buying "extra" in duty free.....

Even "canned" (in jars) produce from a garden. It seems to me that when they ask you to list food on the customs form, they are only looking for "fresh" fruits or vegetables that could be carrying insects, larvae, or bacteria that could cause problems in the U.S. Any other kinds of food don't seem to be a problem.
