Taking poppy seeds out of United States

Details

Culinary poppy seeds are an ordinary food product in United States with no export formality. The risk is destination-side: Singapore, Taiwan, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and China treat poppy seeds as prohibited opium-poppy derivatives, with arrests recorded for baked goods and spice mixes. Check the arrival rule for the same route before carrying.
