Traveling with Lulav and Esrog to the United States

Dear Friend,

Re: Traveling with Lulav and Esrog to the United States

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (Department of Homeland Security) have made inspectors at border posts between Canada and the United States aware of the upcoming Succos Holiday.  They have kindly arranged that there will be agricultural specialists available throughout the Yom Tov traveling period.  It is recommended that travelers use the Champlain Border (Lacolle), as this border post will have more inspectors available.

People who are traveling with Lulav and Esrog will be requested to hand these items over for examination at all border posts.  Once these items have been inspected and are free of pests and/or diseases, they will be released.  Members of border inspection are sensitive to the handling of these items and will ensure at all times that the passenger opens, unwraps and rewraps the Lulav & Esrog.

We take this opportunity of wishing you and your families a good Yom Tov.

Yours Sincerely,

Rabbi S. Emanuel
Executive Director
