The border patrol doesn’t really care as long as the amounts are small. A lot of times, border patrol will even provide the limits.

If you are going to go over and you get inspected, you’re going to need a good reason for what you’ve got. For instance, going for a day trip but coming back with a week’s worth of clothes are going to be a red flag. Border patrol is also going to look at condition of the items if they are at the point they are inspecting the items.
