“This is a substantial amount of iguana meat, well beyond what would be considered as personal use, it lacked the necessary permits for lawful importation and further it was found hidden in masa,” said Joe Uribe, Acting CBP Port Director in Laredo.
I think the lessons here are:
- Always make sure you have the proper permits for your iguana meat.
- If you have the proper permits, you don’t need to hide your iguana meat in masa. Or anything else for that matter.
- Small amounts of iguana meat for “personal use” are apparently okay with Customs.
- You can find recipes for iguana online.
- At the moment, I very much wish that I was in Tijuana.
