How much are you bringing back? I've never paid duty. In fact, I never report it!

I think if you have California plates, you are only allowed 2 bottles - liters / quarts, but there is no limit if you have other state plates.
Someone wrote about this not long ago here in the forum.

that's BS - duty is a national thing with CBP.
one liter PP of legal age.
pay duty any more than that.

The California limit is not related to duty, is it? I have read here other states can bring cases in.

Years ago when I was taking like 6 bottles of Kahula into California, I was not given to option of duty. The Border Patrol just confiscated 4 of the
bottles and threw then in the trash - probably with a pipeline to their homes after work.

We spent five years beating on this subject
http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=22754&pag...
no reason to hammer away on this topic again,
the thread above will take you to four pages of advice
(none of it very valuable, in my opinion)

there is a diff between duty free and duty owed.
if a border station is not set up to collect duty then they can't and won't allow excess to come in. Learned the hard way years ago in tecate.

Get the popcorn machine revved up
Here we go for four more pages of nonsense...
Everyone has a different version, a war story and an opinion.
None of which will hold water (or whatever liquid you happen to be carrying)

I know the Franzia guys, and they have a very interesting approach to "Two Buck Chuck"
None of the wine is theirs,
They buy up bulk from anyone who needs to unload it.
Occasionally they get bulk from a high buck primo winery and those in the know get super stuff for two bucks
I agree that, generally, it is pretty awful, but when the buy is right, the wine is great.
Don't paint them with quite that wide of a brush, my man.....

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.
***********************************************
After reading this, it seems to me if you are bringing back a case or two for "personal use/consumption", there is NO federal Duty/tax.
The requirement, as I see it is that if you live in Idaho, and enter the US through Otay, you would need to get a written ruling from both California
and Idaho alcohol beverage control/regulatory/taxing agencies and present that to the CBP agent when crossing

wine duty
Yeagads is right I am almost sorry I posted the question. But thebajarunner is right, opinions are like another body part, everybodys got one. After
35 years in Sonoma County I have a pretty good handle on wine quality, anybody can find a good wine for $25 or up, the chalange is to find a good wine
at $10. Like a lot of wine drinkers I have a daily table wine (Chuck), and then search out bargain, quality wines for that special occasions.
Shall we call a halt to this post??
