Here is what the Customs website says
Once again, I suggest that you read what Customs says on their own site.
quote>The total amount of alcohol you may enter the country with is primarily determined by the laws of the state where you will arrive back into
the U.S. Each state's ABC board (or equivalent ) sets the amount of alcohol a person may bring into the state without a license or permit from that
state. Travelers must check with the appropriate state ABC board, as the amounts vary from state to state. We regret that we are unable to provide
this information, but CBP staff is not able to maintain information about each of the 50 State's various requirements.< end quote
If we are talking California, then see my previous post paraphrasing California's website.
One liter per adult.
As to "open containers"---- well, I did not think that one was worth responding to.
And, as to whether or not the Grumpy Dude at the gate can be persuaded that you live in Mississippi or East BoHunk, and so are exempt from
California's one liter limit....
Well, good luck with that one as well.

Does this mean you won't read it to me? Can't you tell when someone is offering up something with "tongue in cheek"? Sheeesh.
I really like your repetitive posts, above, where you were treating other Nomads like children who were incapable of reading. Must just be a personal
trait. Are you, were you a school teacher?

Amo, for us in California it is 1 litre (3 cans beer, litre of wine or tequila, etc.)... No option to pay tax for additional bottles (unfortunately)!
This California law was set up to protect California bars and liquor stores at the end of prohibition, I think...
We really would like to bring over some L.A. Cetto wine to enjoy at home! Well, more than 2 bottles at a time, anyway!

I taught for three years at Cal State University Stanislaus. Loved it, it was just not a career path I wished to pursue.
As to treating Nomads as children....
Well, one reason I never tried teaching below the university level is that I preferred working with a more mature mindset.
On occasion, it was necessary to assist some of the slower students, but generally having them go back and re-read the material was
solution/sufficient.
As to making smart remarks, off topic, well the way I dealt with that was simply take the student aside after class, smile and say, "If getting a
grade and credit for this class is important, you need to stay on topic and save the smart alec questions for some other class."
"reeks"???
"get over it??""
que es su problema?

Not to throw gasoline on a fire, but the way I read the US Customs regulations is that each ADULT person can bring into California one
liter...........so, if you take Baja Angel that equals 2 liters per trip.....you should have a case of wine in no time!!!

Still trying to comb through all of the reg's and figger this out.
My understanding is that as a Colorado licensed driver, the 1 liter limit does not apply to me. Can anyone else confirm?

Wow, you dragged up a 5 year old thread with this question! I have read from other NON-CALIFORNIANs that this is true.

I didn't realize this was such an old thread til you just mentioned it LOL
This is a very interesting thread. I always assumed that when they ask you what you are bringing back, it is because you are ready and able to
declare any item you have and not be sent to secondary for a reprimand...esp since there is no separate lane for those wanting to make a declaration
of itmes .... so ...... are you supposed to start talking before the officer says "Hello, what are you bringing back ?"
On another note- once we were returning to Mexico and the customs agent and I had the following conversation:
"how much wine do you have?" as she looks at the boxes of wine
"two cases, one red and one white."
"why do you have so much ?
I thought about it for half a second and came back with
"because I like it !".
she said OK and let it go at that ..... We have had a good laugh over that one quite often.

DK, thought I would provide a reference so that others with interest in same topic would find historic discussion and information.
As I searched for an answer for my question before posting, this thread has the most information related to it.
Still hoping to find an answer to my question. Thanks.

Yah, no problem... If you are not a Califonia resident, then you are not restricted by California's liquor laws... Have you tried Googling the
Internet for the law in print?
Here it is from http://www.abc.ca.gov/permits/importing.html :
Returning from Mexico
Section 23661 of the CA Business and Professions Code limits the quantity of alcohol brought into California from Mexico for personal or household use
as follows:
A pedestrian crossing the international border on foot may bring in only the amount of alcoholic beverages which are exempt from payment of duty in
accordance with the existing provision of federal law (currently, this is one-liter every 31 days). Note: This limit applies to all persons regardless
of state or country of residence. No waivers are available.
A California resident crossing the international border in a vehicle that is not a common carrier may bring in only the amount of alcoholic beverages
which are exempt from payment of duty in accordance with the existing provisions of federal law (currently, this is one-liter every 31 days).
Non-California residents crossing the international border in a vehicle that is not a common carrier can bring with them a reasonable quantity of
alcoholic beverages (up to five cases or 60 liters) provided the beverages are for personal or household use.
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.

We have friends who split time between Baja and Michigan. We had dinner with them last night at La Fonda. They are heading home for the summer on
Monday and he is taking 60 bottles of wine from various wineries only because that is the max he can take. I was upset because all this time he could
have been bringing me loads of goods. I can hardly wait for his return next fall.
