nparmelee Posted March 3, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2009 According to http://www.cbp.gov. (Click on "Travel" and then on "Know Before You Go."), there is no limit, but you will need to pay duty (up to 4%) on everything more than 1 litre per person. Not sure how they calculate the duty, it all may depend on the luck of the dra with who you deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVegasMan Posted March 3, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2009 5 liters is allowed if you visited the USVI. All it takes is one broken bottle to make the $2 you saved per bottle go from a great savings to a PITA. Also remember there is a weight limit for your suitcases on all airlines. And alcohol is not allowed as a carry on item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girly_Girl Posted March 3, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I never had to pay any duties for bringing alcohol to the U.S. I brought back several bottles and it was just my husband and I, so the one per person thing is not so unless something changed over the last year and a half. Consumption is always an option to avoid duties :) Just don't get sick on the plane...teehee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverboy Posted March 3, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted March 3, 2009 1 per person is the law but not enforced, We got off the ship (wife and I) with 6 bottles and nothing said . Just wondering if anyone has been questioned or had to pay duty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
