      Anyone ever brought back more than 1 L of liquor back to the US from abroad? How did you work it through customs?

        I brought 4 L back because I thought I could. Customs said I couldn't, and then let me keep it and said do not do it again.

        Some was bought duty free and supposed to be on a carryon, however our flight was delayed so we missed our connection and thus had to put it in our actual baggage, which may have been some of the issue.

          Lol. Customs website says very clearly there isn't a maximum amount. Just a max of 1 L without paying excise tax for import. Agents just love to wag their dick without engaging their brain. Or rather, they're trying to figure out who is actually trying to get around import laws. I might try your approach. TSA says 5 L in checked bags. Minis just need to fit in the clear bag. Customs also says you can bring back 12 commemorative bottles that are meant as a collection. Which some of these bottles could easily qualify for. *ahem* we're trying to collect distillery exclusives from every distillery in the country."

          I think MN is similar in that we can bring back 4 L each without excise but wasn't sure how strict they are on this.

          edit: so wait, did customs rifle through your bag and count bottles?

                True, but msp seem worse. When I moved home from Europe, my belongings were tied up for longer than all my coworkers. Called to ask why- once the guy heard I lived in msp he laughed and explained they’ll comb through and delay everything

                    Yeah they did and told me I was only allowed 1L. I read the 5L in TSA and thought I would be good. I probably would have fought more but they let me keep it so I just said sorry and scampered away with my aquavit.

                        You run into issues eventually. I was flying international twice a month as msp when I discovered this

                            Well to be fair, GE started in 2008, and that’s when my international travel for work stopped. I never had a chance to use a program back then

                                Immigration checks are far better now. On my way from Manila to MSP I did not have to do a full traditional immigration check in Seoul nor Chicago, and coming back the same in Detroit and Seoul. They scanned my pretty face instead on the outgoing flights and after was a quick recheck at/near my gate.
