While not exactly the same, but along the same lines,
Calif DMV has had a long problem, the way they see it, with large new Motorhomes being registered in Montana under a paper
Corporation, then based in Ca., and driven in Ca. by the
owner who resides in Ca., but avoids fees and sales tax

I received a response today from SD Senator Thune's office about my request for him to review my contact and accusation of the SENTRI illegally
revoking my SENTRI because I am a SD resident.
First I was happy to get a timely response (I emailed him 3 days ago) and second, his rep says it looks like I was given unacceptable response by CBP
otay. They are contacting their CBP rep in DC.
Now I will see of the CBP in DC operates a Gestapo operation as does SENTRI Otay. I doubt it and have hopes they will clear up my problem and I
would like them to fire some people in Otay SENTRI. Fire a government employee yeah right.

Nope, it's California
Fed regulations state that you can bring in "an amount" for personal use/consumption.....any more and you pay duty.
Having any other state DL/Veh registration than California you can escape the 1 liter requirement........Have done it a few times with my Nevada
resident status........although the decision rests with the CBP booth agent.
........."Please be aware that State ABC laws govern how much alcohol a person may import into their state without a license and those laws are
enforced by CBP. You must check with the state ABC board where your shipment will enter the country to determine their limits.
There is no federal limit on the amount of alcohol someone may import into the U.S. for personal use, however, large quantities might raise the
suspicion that the importation is for commercial purposes, and a CBP Officer could require you to obtain an Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau
(TTB) import license before releasing it.........."

No. Texas allows 4 litres. Arizona just switches to 1 litre as well since so many people were coming through SLRC and then going into California.
And if you fly you can bring for personal consumption, which is generally set at 12 litres.

Yes, Texas allows 4 liters but you have to pay a $3 import fee on each bottle. Not sure how that works, if you have to pull over and go through some
kind of paperwork/processing. Seems hardly worth it since alcohol isn't much cheaper in Mex anymore. Anyone here crossed the border into Texas from
Mexico?

Last time I was in Juarez I brought 10 liters into El Paso and just had to pay $1.25/ bottle duty on the extra 9.

Bajaguy posted contact info for the San Diego CBP office with an email for the PAO. I sent some of this posting to the PAO for his information. So
if I disappear from radar, I have been terminated by the Gestapo.
