Who has done this? I know there was a discussion some time ago about what could be taken into Jamaica without declaration. I know that a poster had mentioned that he normally took a six-pack of craft beer with him in his checked luggage. I just read something online that said the limit is one quart. Anyone have experience with this? At what point does it need to be declared?
Many of times flying out of Toronto I would pickup 24 cans of Coors light and put it in my carry-on never a problem
I assume you are buying the beer at the airport, since surely you cannot carry a case of beer through the security checkpoint? I have never noticed beer for sale in any duty-free shops, just liquor.
your assumption is correct. The duty-free in Toronto has beer
a lot of people don't know this...
but bringing Rum into Jamaica is a no no thru customs for the obvious reason......

Do you declare your beer? Are you stuffing it in a carry-on, or just carrying it on in the box? Any issues with exceeding any allowable limits, or dealing with taxes?Quote:

Yeah. I have no problem with Red Stripe, at least until I start to hit about the 3-4 dozen mark. I told a friend that I would bring him some beer from the States, because he was interested in different types of beer. I haven't seen anything in JA, other than Red Stripe, Guinness, Heineken, Miller Lite, and that Dragon beer. It's a travesty!
Ryan...we can get a few imports at particular stores down here...Stella, (real) Guinness, Duvel, Leffe, Presidente, Caribe...but having said that...I've brought in a six pack without incident even after being searched.
