Can I bring reindeer sausages from Norway back into the United States?
If I cannot, what foods can I bring from Norway to the United States?
Thanks!

Sorry no meat products from Norway are allowed. They US Customs will charge an offender $1300 per non allowed food item. Their dogs are also trained in smelling for foods.
Here are complete details from USA Customs and
border patrol on what you can bring in:

Chocolate! Norwegian chocolate is very good! When I had a software project in Norway we always brought back chocolate to loosen up colleagues when asking for help!

My husband brought back a gorgeous hock of speck from the alps one summer and almost had a heart attack when customs unceremoniously chucked it into the bin as soon as they found it. No meat comes into the US. Sorry!

Last time I was there our tour guide got some shrimp paste for us to sample, as it is a Scandinavian delicacy. It comes in a big squeeze tube and you put it on crackers for a snack. Available in grocery stores. I brought one home (un-opened) and the US customs guy was OK with it.
Also products with typical Norwegian fruits are good to bring home - - cloudberry candy, lingonberry jam, etc.
