what are the customs restrictions for posting to the US?

I know the obvious; no perishables, drugs or banned substances, sharps, etc. Are there any less obvious things i should know about?

I haven't been able to get any vomit this release. Not any I can pick up, at any rate.
Swans, too. Swans are complete bastards.

Not really. Common sense is about it.

Certain states have their own restrictions on what type of weapons/knives/plants/fruits/drugs/animals are allowed inside, but as long as you don't send of of that, you'll be fine.

EDIT: For example, California banned sword-canes. Swords hidden in walking canes. If they catch you with one or importing one, they will confiscate it and fine you. I am disappointed.

Guess those Californians will just have to come up here to see my viper head sword cane.

Aww, looks like I won't be able to send any of our cows.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

I can't wait to find out who gets this gift of mine. I'll leave it up to whoever receives it to put up pictures of it (or not.).

Oh, I'll definitely take a photo of me opening my present and toss it up here. Some of the fun of this is going to be seeing what everyone gets everyone else!

I have a vague idea what I'm going to get my recipient, but I need to flesh it out a bit more. I have plans I tell you.

Plans schmans. Everyone knows the best way of buying a present is to browse until something jumps out at you.

Also this is my 30th parcel so don't be surprised if you get something you didn't expect.

More PMs sent now! :D

Also, some people are awfully worried about giftees liking gifts they're sending. Just get them something you think they'd like and hope for the best ;)

EDIT: Also, some of you sent me PMs with interest, but no address as of yet. I'm going to need those eventually. Just a reminder.

Not all are sent yet, there's a few held back because I'm waiting for addresses from people who said "I want in!" but then are currently at unreachable addresses because of school... etc.

Some of you have some very unique gift ideas :D

I've been procrastinating about this, mostly because until now I have had literally zero dollars.

Paycheck, yay. Now to gifthunt.
