Booze!

[katieflossom 54]

Hi everyone. Blimmin eck, three months living here in the US has FLOWN by! So my problem is, is that I am craving my favourite cider something chronic (can't you tell I'm a West Country girl!) I have looked online, and tweeted the company (ha) and they are bringing it to the US, but nowhere near me in CO right now...

I have friends coming to visit soon, and I wondered if they could bring some in their suitcase for me? I have never brought booze that way, and wondered if rules differ if you don't buy it at duty free?

Thanks in advance (and don't laugh too much at my predicament!)

is possible it's sold in Texas, at a Spec's Liquor Warehouse?

if'n you give over the name of the cider, i could ask.

Nope- Spec's doesna have it. The closest store to you is in Lubbock.

But - they are really good on special order stuff - suggest you call them and ask for 8 cases delivered to Lubbock. Then you do a roadtrip after the first icemelt.

I've brought back 2 bottles (750 ml) from oversea trips without paying customs tax many times.

Check the latest customs regulation on this.

I think one bottle per traveler is the limit, but they can bring more if they are willing to pay import duty.
