A woman who took a flight from Paris to the United States faces a $500 fine from U.S. Customs for failing to notify them she had an apple in her bag. She faces the penalty for failing to declare an agricultural item.

Crystal Tadlock says cabin crew on a Delta Airlines flight gave passengers a free snack and she saved the apple to eat later on a connecting flight.

Travel expert Simon Calder tells us many countries have strict rules on importing food to protect farming crops.
