The last thing you can ever expect after coming back from a wonderful and enjoyable vacation is getting flagged at customs because of the cost of the number of goods you have brought with you. Surprised? Don’t be.

In fact, going beyond the duty-free limit you are supposed to respect is a sure way of inviting that dreaded delay at customs. In the U.S, travelers are not allowed to spend more than the allowed duty-free amount during their trip, which in return depends on the country they are visiting and for how long they are willing to stay there.

According to the Customs and Border Protection website, travelers can only bring back home $800 worth of goods they have bought while on a vacation without having to pay any taxes.

As for those who are coming back from a foreign country and have been out for less than forty-eight hours, they cannot exceed $200. If you are still confused, you can go back to CBP website and check the rules stated before you ever step out of your house, and spend accordingly.
