    When shipping personal items from the U.S., are home-canned foods (meats, fruits, vegetables) allowed to come into Panama?

    Hi Bob,

    I recommend you check with the legal contact listed in the rolodex. My guess is that these items are not allowed as household items (and bringing them in as food imports would possibly be a hassle), but if you were to put labels on the items so they looked like they came from supermarket shelves you’d maybe have a better chance of them getting through unnoticed. But again, please check with an expert. Here are some contacts:
