SAN LUIS, AZ - If you're trying to bring prohibited goods into the U.S. from south of the border, you might want to think again.

On Friday a woman was slapped with a $300 fine for trying to smuggle duck eggs through the San Luis Port of Entry.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say they found the eggs hidden in a bag with clothes the woman was carrying while she tried to cross through the pedestrian lane.
