Sending Alcohol home (to Australia) from overseas?

Question

I am going overseas later this year and want to send home tequilia from Mexico, wine from Chile as gifts...

I was wondering what restrictions there are on mailing it home... How much can I send, What taxes they may be charged etc. I don't want them to incure charges on presents!!

Answer 1

why dont you email australian customs and ask.

The postage will be high for starters and you will have to pay some sort of customs duty.

Answer 2

hmm.......be very careful about sending alcohol in the mail at any time.....may break or whatever.

Personally, I dont know the limits on posting it, but I do know that you can bring 2 litres back home with you on the plane duty free.....

I cant be sure weather that applies to mailing as well.....you might have to go onto the customs site (type in Australian Customs on google)
