What did u do, hide them in your pocket through customs? :)

Can't really help you but i suspect they are some type of C amponotus species.

It was to easy and the first looks like P heidole to me but the second I was thinking S ol e [o]nopsis and the third F ormica aswell. You both queen 1 and 2 have many eggs the 3rd one none what so ever.
