How much liquor through customs in US?

The amount of alcohol you can bring into the United States duty-free depends on several factors, including your state of residence, your citizenship, and the alcohol content of the beverage. Here are the general guidelines:

1. U.S. Residents:

- 1 liter (33.8 fluid ounces) of alcohol per person, regardless of the type of alcohol. This limit applies to any alcoholic beverage, including wine, beer, spirits, and liqueurs.

2. Non-Residents:

- Non-U.S. residents (visitors) are allowed to bring in up to 1 liter of alcohol duty-free, provided they are at least 21 years old.

3. Additional State Restrictions:

- Individual states may have additional restrictions or regulations regarding the importation of alcohol. Some states may have lower duty-free limits, or they may require a permit or specific documentation for bringing alcohol into the state. It is important to check with the relevant state authorities to understand the specific regulations that apply to your state of residence.

4. Alcohol Content:

- The duty-free allowance applies to alcoholic beverages with an alcohol content of up to 24% alcohol by volume (ABV). Beverages with a higher ABV may be subject to additional taxes and duties.

5. Personal Consumption:

- The duty-free allowance is only for personal consumption and not for commercial or resale purposes.

It's worth noting that if you exceed your duty-free allowance, you may be required to pay taxes, duties, and fees on the excess amount. Additionally, if you bring alcohol into the U.S. for commercial or resale purposes, you may need to obtain a special license or permit from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB).
