The Kinder eggs are prohibited in the USA

” The Kinder eggs are prohibited just like narcotics in the USA” U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer Mike Milne told the National Post after two American tourists were caught with six of the contraband candies in their trunk in 2012. He said the eggs have been “an ongoing problem for years.”

Unaware that the candy is banned in the United States, Chris Sweeney and husband Brandon Loo of Seattle managed to escape the possible fine of $2,500 per egg. The couple did spend more than two hours in a detention center when authorities found six Kinder eggs in their trunk, however, according to the Canadian Press. (Hanula Zsolt, Index)
