I am 18 is it illigal to transport alcohol in my checked baggage from a country were it is legal to buy???

Question

I am flying from out of the country, to florida. It is legal to buy here for my age. If so how much is permitted??? I would put it in my check luggage. And I know its illegal to drink in the States but if I were bringing it as a gift. I believe you are allowed to transport alcohol in Florida if you are atleast 18.

Answer 1

You can try, the worst they will do, IF they find it at customs is take it away.  and chances are unlikely (50-50) that they even check.  I think the max allowed to bring home is 2 bottles.

If anyone asks, tell them it is a gift for your parents.  

chances are you will be fine.  just don´t try to bring home more than 2 bottles.

Answer 2

Micah, the thing to do is to buy it at the duty-free shop at the airport. They take your money, and put it on the flight for you as checked baggage, and you claim it on arrival in the US.
