I think, but it's dubious... Canada will get you a year in jail.

Some people were talking about that in a C92 thread on /jp/, check it out.

It depends on if it's obscene which is determined using the Miller test and if you're affecting interstate or foreign commerce.
Obscene speech is not protected under the 1st amendment.
It is almost never enforced but bringing physical material over the border is a bit riskier than just getting it on the internet.
Don't get searched and maybe put it with some normal manga.

That image from the thread is incorrect.
It says 1466A was struck down as part of COPA but the original legislation was from the CPPA which was struck down in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition not Ashcroft v. ACLU.
It also doesn't mention that the legislation was swiftly put back into place by the PROTECT Act with an added obscenity clause to make it constitutional.
Note that section (2) lacks the explicit obscenity requirement, for this reason a couple lower courts have ruled it unconstitutional but that doesn't mean you're free and clear because section (1) has the obscenity requirement and two circuit courts have rebuffed constitutional challenges and the supreme court declined to hear it.

They also added the affecting language to 2252A to make it easier to show, so if you're transmitting loli over the net or downloading it you can be confident you'd quality.

What needs to happen is for one brave American hero to get charged with loli and for him to fight it instead of taking a plea bargain. As it is, it doesn't matter if it's truly illegal because heavy-handed prosecutors wanting to look tough on crime will apply enough pressure to break the guy and there will be no court date for anyone to judge. Ideally there would be a situation where it would go to the Supreme Court, but these days it's leaning pretty conservative so that might be bad news.
I'd only order or bring back loli stuff if I had the money for a good lawyer.

Why would you get in trouble for transporting a drawing over seas? How would they even find out? Just hide it in your boxers in your luggage if you're so scared dude.

This. It's very rare for them to actually check your baggage if your white and not suspicious.

Loli has already been ruled to not be illegal in USA...

Source? I thought it depended on what state you were in.

If this is true then how come daily loli threads are allowed on /b/?

You'd be risking a lot. I would not be confident in supreme court hearing the case, they've declined it before. Pic has two judges' decisions regarding constitutionality of the law.
>>1545913
This is not true.
>>1545915
It's federal law.

Lack of resources and will on the part of law enforcement, which is why cases are rare but can still fuck up your life if you're the unlucky guy who's bag is searched or if they have reason to target you.
Max Hardcore for example had to go to prison for breaking obscenity law, he made porn involving vomiting but they had already tried to charge him before for making porn involving adult actresses who acted like teens.
Christopher Handley had to go to jail for loli manga because custom intercepted his package from Japan.

99% of time I wouldn't worry but bringing back physical loli merchandise through the border would be a little nerve wracking.
