I don't know how Colombia is if you bring prohibited goods but declare them (here in Canada or in the US, no problem, just surrender them when asked). If Colombia has a similar relaxed attitude, then all that is needed is to take them and declare them, and to hope for the best. In any event, the original poster is primarily concerned with on board the aircraft, and that will be fine. | |

And your "fruit in juice" is also made partially from plant product. Note: "Plants" usually mean living plants. "Plant material" is non processed roots, flowers, seeds, wood, fruits, etc. They are usually from definition of WTO and old GATT, and so usual vocabulary in customs) and not logical definitions. | |

Such rules are usually to contain diseases on raw material. -- note: these two items are on boundary between the two | |
