Check out the show Border Security on Netflix. There's 3 versions, USA+Canada+Australia and they go quite in-depth on how the border security officers make these kinds of determinations.

The Australian one is extra awesome because they have very tight import restrictions on food/plant products for biosecurity reasons and their proximity to Asia means there are tons of people trying to bring in very interesting (but illegal) items from those countries. Plus they have a whole series of really cute dogs that sniff out the food.
