I ordered some Mariage Frères tea to be mailed to our friends in France to save shipping costs to the U.S. When we bring the tea back with us do we have to declare it, since we paid for it in dollars before the trip?
Have fun with this one.

For simplicity -
I order my Mariage Frères tea from a merchant in Dallas, TX.

My favorites are Lune Rouge (green tea) and Fruits Noirs (black tea). What's yours?

I wonder if that is true Ira? Aren't we only supposed to declare what we purchased while abroad? Otherwise our list would be endless with everything in our suitcase and on our body. I might be misreading your reply.

Ira is correct. You declare everything you acquire abroad during the trip. Doesn't matter when and how and where you pay for it. If you're bringing it in to the US for the first time, you declare it.
lemidi- You are misreading Ira's reply. It doesn't include things that you already have with you when you leave the country.
