Smuggling of Eggs Across Border Skyrockets Amid Rising Prices

By Eric Lendrum
January 20, 2023

As the price of eggs continues to rise across the country, some are now turning to smuggling eggs across the southern border to get them for a cheaper price.

As reported by the New York Post, there has been a 108 percent increase in the amount of eggs confiscated at the border over the last four months, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

In most cases, border authorities have seen many more cases “in the last week or so where the eggs were not declared and then discovered during an inspection,” said CBP spokesman Roger Maier. “When that happens the eggs are seized and the individual is assessed a $300 civil penalty.” The fine can reach as high as $10,000 for anyone who tries again, or tries to smuggle in “commercial size imports.”

As inflation continues to rise, a simultaneous shortage in hens across the country has led to a surge in the price of eggs, with some cities seeing prices as high as $8 a carton. Meanwhile, a container of 30 eggs still sells for as low as $3 in Mexico.

Eggs are considered “prohibited products” by the Border Patrol due to the risk of the eggs from Mexico being unclean, either carrying diseases or by being uncooked; meats and other forms of food are similarly banned from being transported across the border. Any confiscated eggs are subsequently sent to an incinerator.

“They have to understand, it is a prohibited product; we’re not going to allow it to make entry,” said CBP Supervisory Agricultural Officer Charles Payne. “If you declare it, we’ll pick them up, no penalty issued. If you fail to declare or you attempt to smuggle it, it’s going to be a penalty.”

What a stupid law, and stupid thing to enforce. I live 20 minutes from Tijuana. So its ok if I drive down and eat a 12-egg omelette and come right back, but if i buy a dozen eggs and drive back they will fine me $10,000. No wonder the govt is so in debt.

The price of eggs has gone from 27 pesos per kilo to 46 in 5 years.

$1.35 to $2.30 usd

Still cheaper than USA but the price of everything has noticeably increased here

Except that's a lie that Mexican meat isnt allowed. It isn't allowed FOR YOU Joe average citizen. If you own a business and give the govt more money to be able to do it you can import all the Mexican meat you want. And of course for near the same price as any other meat.

But average Joe who wants to save money go fukk yourself.

This isn't new to 2023. Its always been illegal to buy produce from one country and drive it across the border. Its not just meat and dairy either. The same goes for fruits and vegetables.

The USDA claims they have no way of knowing what you're bringing across the border (some invasive pest or disease) which is why all the goods coming from mexico have to be USDA inspected first.

This dude is kinda right, if any of you buy your beef from a super market you likely haven’t eaten American raised beef in at least the last decade, rather Mexican and/or South American.
