And don't call it Scotch when you're here, it's whisky, with no 'e'. I find with customs, it depends who you get on what day. We Scottish people neither use pounders or fl. Also it is perfectly fine to call it Scotch, I call it Scotch regularly, this is what is written on the bottles, on bar menus, it is even in the name of the various societies and boards that promote and regulate whisky.
It is correct that there is no "e" in whisky though, that is Irish whiskey. Travellingbook if you came across someone who complained about you using the word "Scotch" then that is disappointing that someone was like that, to me the word "Scotch" is what defines it as a product of Scotland rather than many of the other nationalities of whisk e y.
It's definitely called 'scotch' here in Canada. Bubbly fr Champagne France is called Champagne whisky fr Scotland is called scotch. Whiskey is of course not just from Ireland. Sorry if talking "Canadaese" caused confusion ; , I think the 1,14L limit is equivalent to 40 fl. A 'forty pounder' is a colloquial term for a 40 oz. I think it was in some travel guide where I saw about not calling it scotch. Have had no issues here. This topic has been closed to new posts due to inactivity.
If you want to travel with quantities of whiskey greater than what you can carry in 3-ounce bottles, you will need to pack it in your checked luggage. Even if you do, though, you can't travel with just anything.
The TSA prohibits any type of air travel with whiskey — or other liquors — more than proof. It also restricts just how much liquor you can travel with, limiting each passenger to 5 liters total. Though the TSA does not have specific regulations on how you pack your whiskey — other than recommending that you do so carefully, so it doesn't break — you should always check with your airline before you pack. Packing regulations for alcohol vary by airline to minimize breakage and damage, and the airline reserves the right to refuse your luggage's contents even if the TSA does not.
In the duty free shops they often sell 1L bottles for a good deal considering you are getting more than a regular bottle. How much do you want bring back? You can bring more than 1L but you are supposed to declare it. I have never met anyone that said they brought extra bottles of liquor through customs. Nor what happened as far as any taxes.
You would think it would be posted somewhere on US customs information. Then you could look up the normal tax and see if it is worth it based even on that amount. Found this. Although this table deals with large quantities.

Post by Watty » Sat Dec 07, pm One thing to be aware of is that in many airports when you arrive at the international terminal and then catch a domestic connection you will need to go through security again where there is a 3 ounce limit on liquids. Does anyone know how they handle that?
Post by afan » Sat Dec 07, pm Unless the whisky is rare and hard to find in the US or extremely expensive, it sounds like more trouble than it is worth. Buying stateside saves you the need to lug it back yourself, relieves you of any risk of breakage, speeds you through customs and lets someone else do all the work.
We don't know how to beat the market on a risk-adjusted basis, and we don't know anyone that does know either --Swedroe We assume that markets are efficient, that prices are right --Fama. The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. Which due to compounding unforeseen circumstances delayed my arrival by 20 hours. So if you buy duty-free make sure you have plenty of time for your first connection.
Just make sure you leave some extra room. So careful with that rum. In reality, this almost never happens and you're waved through by the US customs agent. The amount to collect is just too small to justify the paperwork. See our Flying With Alcohol guide to see the customs laws in your country. October 02, 0 Comments. September 21, 0 Comments.
