Question

Can you take coca tea into the us from Peru?

Answer 1

Yes you can.

But keep in mind that it must be an industrialized product ; however you can carry some leafes in a small bag. Obviusly if that is more than a kilo special dogs at the airports are experts in smelling coca, so you could be in troubles. Do not cross the line.

Answer 2

It is NOT legal to bring anything into the USA made with coca unless it has been decocanized. (Kind of like decafinated coffee)

Please read the reference

Although you may be able to bring a small portion in your luggage that may be overlooked, you will probably not get in any trouble unless you try to bring a large quantity.
