Bonnie J. Posted April 6, 2017 #26 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I usually have 2, maybe 3, glasses of wine each night. When you bring wine on board when you check in I won't drink close to a bottle a night. So I take them home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cve Posted April 6, 2017 #27 Share Posted April 6, 2017 How do back to back cruises work when you clear customs in between legs? Would your exemption be $800 for items you purchased during each cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted April 7, 2017 #28 Share Posted April 7, 2017 If it's been less than 30 days since your last entry your customs exemption is reduced. https://www.cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors/kbyg/types-exemptions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you bring wine on board when you check in I won't drink close to a bottle a night. So I take them home! A bottle has 4-5 glasses depending on the size of the pour. So I'm confused as to how you ended up bringing them all home with you, even if you carried a couple bottles on to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's it matter anyway, the PP's message is a good one- that gifts brought back need to be declared also (but it does raise an interesting question, do you declare the inflated price of the wine or do you declare the actual retail price).

I would declare the average value on WineBid, which is typically below retail. But that's me. I'm not saying I would expect her to drink them all, it just seems that in doing the math she wouldn't have brought every bottle back. Random musings.
