Thank you for your response, Bnewb. I respect everyone’s voice of concern regarding this subject. But how can they allow me to bring them, yet still be technically not allowed???

You see, I researched on-line seeking specific restrictions on bringing food to Jamaica. As a follow up to the research I asked Jamaican TSA agents (at least 4 different occasions) if it unadvisable or unlawful to bring the limes since I had them with me. Each time I was told it is not a problem to bring them for personal use. I was also told that the permit requirements and most restrictions, as stated in your attachment (last update 2015), are directed at merchants importing goods, including fruits and vegetables, for resale. Based on my “actual” experiences of never having my fruit confiscated and clarification received from those in authority, I’m not breaking importation regulations or violating restrictions…not even technically.

But then again, this is me along with many other folks who regularly take fruits and vegetables among other food products, to Jamaica with no problem…not even an official caution or warning. Therefore being this is a personal decision, from now on, I will only occasionally mention the crazy food items I take to Jamaica 3 times a year in my trip reports and not within a post on the general forum.
