I am traveling to the USA for the very first time for completing my higher education, and I am planning to carry my Jagganath deities. i have heard that i have to declare everything that I am carrying along with me. So i what can do? I really want to take them along with me because i know only they can protect me from Maya.
Can someone please advice me i really need help?

Hare Krishna.,
Very cute little dieties you have prabhuji. As we have discussed earlier., You can easily carry them with you. Not a problem at all.
If you are carrying then in a protective case and put them in ur check-in baggage. There is not at problem at all.
But if u carry that case along with u in the hand. You need to declare it to security check- personnel before they do screening.
For that reason before screening, they give u a big tray ( 2-3 trays) and ask you to put all that you are carrying on your body.( example-- watches, cellphones, belt, gold chains, pens,),even your cabin baggage. during that process., It is good to put them( dieties also) in the tray and declare it to them show it to them before u get screened to avoid problems.
But if you are carrying in ur check-in baggage ( main big suitcases) where you pack all your needy stuff ( like clothes etc.)
then there is no need to declare as they do check it and then only transport them to the aircraft.
Hare Krishna.
Jai Jagannatha.
