They get a special lane to themselves, and the wait is generally about 45 minutes max. 15 if you show up on a Thursday or Friday.

Very interesting, sounds like a lot of fun, thanks for posting up on this!
Question: would the exemption on a bus rule also apply to bus trips to/from the wine country? Seems like it would, that would be a lot of fun! Just
mentioning it here so I don't forget, gonna do some more research on this... |

I know you have made the trip to the Expo several times, Marty...are you going this year?
My sister, Rhea, plans to go with us, but this time we are going on Sunday the 13th. I am gambling that the vendors want to make some deals because
they don't want to schlep back all the cases they brought down.

I brought a case of wine from Valle de guadelupe. I declared the case at TJ and the nice customs guy said that we already paid Mexican taxes-no
problem. |

From the Cal Dept if Alcoholic Beverage Control.....
A California resident or any other person crossing the international border via common carrier may bring in a reasonable quantity of alcoholic
beverages (up to five cases or 60 liters) provided the beverages are for personal or household use.
No person under 21 years of age may bring in any quantity of alcoholic beverages.
For the purpose of Section 23661 "common carriers" are steamship companies and railroads, or any persons who hold themselves out to the general public
to transport in interstate or foreign commerce any class or classes of passengers or property, or both, for compensation by air or highway, who
actually engage in such transportation, and who hold an interstate alcoholic beverage transporter's permit as required by Section 32109 of the Revenue
and Taxation Code.
Persons who transport only property owned or consigned to themselves shall not be deemed to be common carriers within the meaning of this section.
It should be noted that "common carriers" do not include taxicabs or sightseeing buses crossing the international border.

So, I just got to get the Red Bus guy and CBP to convince me he's not a tour bus and see if he has an alky transport permit!

Also, check the CBP site, Al!
I've been doing this for three years now, since I found out about the "Common Carrier" loophole.
No one has challenged it so far, and I always bring a copy of that page for that purpose.

I don't get it. If an airline is a common carrier, why am I restricted to 2 liters?
