Ask HN: Carry "low cost edition" books with me to USA

1 pointthemonk1 comment

I own few books low cost books with me "For sale in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Circulation of this edition outside these countries is strictly prohibited".

I would like to carry such books to USA while traveling on business or job. It is legal?

There should be no problem with it. What they mean by circulation is for sale, so unless you're bringing in boxes of same-title books for the apparent activity of selling them, I cannot see customs taking them away from you. Just don't bring any plants, soil, live and/or endangered animals or uncooked foods with you.

Just out of curiosity, can you list some of the book titles?
