Default How much alcohol can I bring back from a U.S. insular possession (U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, or Guam) duty-free?


The state determined to get to the amount of alcohol you can bring back for personal use. As long as the amount does not exceed what the state * a lot of personal, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the view allows you to enter the U.S. with up to five liters of alcohol duty free as part of your $ 1,600 exemption - as long as at least four liters were acquired in the insular possession, and at least one of them is a product of the island, that possession. Additional bottles will be subject to a flat rate of 1.5% and is subject to internal taxes.



Please note, only one liter of alcohol bought in a cruise ship in the duty-free shop for which a duty-free exemption, even if at least one bottle is purchased on board the product of an eligible country ** Caribbean Basin, then you will be allowed duty-free two liter. If you buy five liters of alcohol in - say - the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI), and one of them is the product of the USVI, you would have achieved your duty-free limit. Each subject made additional purchases on board in a duty-free shop would CBP duty and IRS taxes.



If you are four bottles in the USVI, which is a product of the USVI, you could buy then buy an extra bottle from the duty free on board, and it would be eligible for duty-free entry.



* Most states restrictions on the amount of alcohol that apply in that State only to the inhabitants of this state can be brought. Usually people in the transit of a State are not subject to these restrictions, but sometimes to change rules, and if this is a matter of utmost importance to you, you can with the state Alcohol Control Board, where you will fly to find out what review its policy .



** Most Caribbean Basin countries as beneficiary countries for purposes of this exemption. Click here for a list. (Anguilla, CAYMEN islands, Guadeloupe, and Martininque Turks and Caicos are not eligible)
