Beetle jelly

[DynastinaeLucanidae]

Does anyone know if beetle jellies bought in beetle shops in Taiwan or Japan could be brought into the US?

Yes, people do it all the time.

What about having them with you in your luggage when you're coming back through the airport? I know you can buy them and have them shipped to you but I'm not sure about having them with you at the airport when you're coming back.

There shouldn't be a problem. Declare them as "jelly" when your going through customs.

Where are you traveling to?

How many do you plan on bringing back?

My family will be going to Taiwan and I am thinking about asking them to bring back around 100-200 beetle jellies from the beetle shops.

I honestly have no idea if that's the case.

If it's not meat and it's not plant material like raw or dried fruit and vegetables, it should not be a problem. Beetle jellies are basically just gelatin-based candies.

200 beetle jellies​ is like 4 small bags. You'll be fine.

When I came back from Japan, nobody cared about jelly.
