I added this incident (I know I used more words than necessary but that’s me) anyway I included it because I was clueless on the amount of duty that can be charged on more than the allowed two bottles of duty-free.

It could have been a lot worse. But soooo grateful to learn that the amounts, which are detailed in the handbook, are much lower than I ever expected.

I’m sure the handbook is on-line, but for the benefit of others who want to bring back more than the two duty-freebies, check your arrival port for the amounts. As I mentioned to Sandman, the rates go according to the price of the alcohol.

HOWEVER…on this return (October) I bought back SIX bottles and listed the purchase on my customs form since now I’m not afraid of the duty charges.

They didn’t even charge me for ONE!!! Just marked the form and told me to have a good evening.

Go figure!!!
