Re: Tips for flying with cooler of food to Haborside?

We have done this for years, 32 to be exact. Never any problem with customs. We use a large Rubbermaid or any brand tub to transport food and everything else. I even put a 5 liter box of wine in there. The tub is light weight and holds a lot. We use a 66 qt. size. We tape it shut and US always opens it, but will retape it nicely.This size will hold 50 lbs. if you pack well. Frozen food is fine. We take prepared dinners and only have to thaw and cook. You can even get large tub with wheels now. They are so light weight you are not paying for suitcase weight. We usually leave the $7.00 tub there so we don't have to pay to bring it back. Maids love the tubs.
