Your carry on bag can't have containers of any kind of liquid that are more than 3oz like L179 said. You can bring larger containers than that in your checked luggage though. I brought a box back from Vietnam than weighed 23kg and was filled with different food/gift items. Spices, seasonings, coffee, etc. I had some similar gifts in my checked bag, coffee, juice from Dalat, etc. They x-rayed both box and bag at customs at LAX and only asked me about the items in the box to make sure there weren't any meat items. Here's a list of the items that customs won't allow or will charge a duty for. Just claim everything honestly on your form they give you before you land.

Keep anything valuable like that in your carry on bag so that it's with you all the time.

no beef products due to mad cow disease. not even processed things containing "beef extracts", whatever that is.

jewelry, definitely keep in your purse. also, be careful on long flights and crowded planes. people have been known to steal camera bags and purses from overhead bins during the sleeping section of the flight. it is rare, but can happen, and once the plane starts unloading...
