Hi SWIM is moving to peru for several months soon and was wondering if he would get in trouble for bringing back san pedro cactus or mimosa hostilis root bark from peru?
 
Well...technically the plants contain scheduled chemicals and are therefore illegal to possess. The real question is if anyone will know/care what you've got and why you've got it. You run a good chance of having no problems whatsoever, but it is not technically legal, iirc.
 
Snozzleberry got it

If you must do it I'd mail them to yourself. My personal experience is if customs snatches any thing at the border you get a letter asking you if you want to claim them. Disregard letter and better luck next time. YMMV

Just my experience..

Ill second that. If anything mail them.
 
Also point out it's illegal to bring ANY plants over international borders with out proper certificates. No fruits, no leaves, no roots, sure as hell no soil! (it takes almost 10 years to get a soil transport permit in the US!) This is part of the agricultural quarantine that aims to block the spread of virulent plant disease.
