May I ask if cigarettes and alcohol are allowed to be brought when leaving China for the United States ?

Each person can bring 200 cigarettes and a limited amount of alcohol, which is about 1 liter. If the amount of cigarettes or alcohol exceeds the limit, it can still be brought, but taxes will be added.
Three days ago, I brought three packs of cigarettes to customs in Los Angeles. I showed them to the customs officer and was ready to pay the duty. But he waved his hand and let me go. Maybe he didn't think it was a big deal.
