Below are a few of the bizarre import bans from around the globe. Chewing Gum Is Not Allowed in Singapore People who are found to be with chewing gum face fines of up to $100,000 (SGD) and a prison sentence. Banned Baby Walkers in Canada Canadians caught with baby walkers or caught selling baby walkers can face fines up to $100,000 (CAD). Haggis Banned in The United States Since 1971 haggis is illegal to import in the US. Sheep’s lungs, a key ingredient of haggis is banned by America’s food standards agency. Lightbulbs in Australia and Cuba Incandescent lightbulbs are banned in Australia after a law was passed in 2007. Similarly, Cuba banned all import of the lightbulbs in 2005.
