I want to bring peppercorns into the US on my next visit, maybe a suitcase full, so 20 kgs. I’ll even declare it.
1) Can I?
2) how much will I have to pay?

I don't think you'll have any problems on the Cambodian side, but I would be surprised if Uncle Sam doesn't take the opportunity to screw over the small guy

I’m not worried about leaving Cambodia.
It’s too much to arrive in the US and not declare. So, if I declare it,
1) Will I have a problem bringing an agricultural product in at that quantity. I don’t think so as it’s a dried spice.
2) What tax will I have to pay?

Isn't it up the the individual states to make laws about importing agricultural products?Wayward Woods wrote:I’m not worried about leaving Cambodia.

It by individual state you mean country, then yes. If you mean individual U.S. state, then no - it’s a federal thing.Kachang wrote:Isn't it up the the individual states to make laws about importing agricultural products?Wayward Woods wrote:I’m not worried about leaving Cambodia.

Well, the topic is about the US, so I meant US states. I thought for instance California has pretty strict laws on importing agricultural goods as opposed to other states, but I might be wrong.
I once visited the US and had two apples in my bag. Those weren't allowed in.... So I guess 20 KG of pepper might cause some trouble too....

I don't know US laws, but Australia is strict as fark with food products and 20kg is far beyond personal consumption, so I don't think simply declaring it as you mosey on out of the airport will be sufficient
It's obviously for resale, so you'll need to deal with it in that basis and deal at least with USDA and Customs and Border Protection.

The problem with importing things to the U.S. is that it's a pretty stringent market. Testing is required if you want to sell food products on a widespread commercial basis. Plus America is so litigious that you can be almost guaranteed to have a lawsuit against you based on something silly e.g. your pepper tastes too peppery or other such nonsense. You need deep pockets to launch in the states. Plus the bright sparks at customs here would probably require you to pawn your left testicle in order to export.
