In the context of war, contraband items for the U.S. typically include weapons, ammunition, and military supplies intended for enemy forces. Additionally, items that could directly support military operations, such as fuel, food, and medical supplies for opposing armies, can also be classified as contraband. Civilian goods may be deemed contraband if they are believed to contribute to the enemy's war effort. The classification of contraband can vary depending on the rules of engagement and international law.
