Yes, normally that is the case, however Goldson now has an "entering" duty free store. You can buy more items there and take them in as "duty free" than you can take in if you buy them in Houston or Miami, etc.

Really??? I am ofthe belief that it has to go into your CHECKED luggage. I've seen several people get yanked out of security and have to go buy the box you mention, since their checked bags are already back in the system. Or do you Canuks get special perks? blush

Booze has to go in checked luggage. Anything over 3 oz, for that matter....in Houston, they confiscated my brother's bottle of Marie Sharpe's because he forgot to check it and had it in his carry on bag.

Doggone it!! Of course, I meant to type "checked" luggage!! Else why would one need to go through all the hassle with the box, etc. Heck, maybe I meant to say "plankton".

It's called......."only in Belize"!

Whatever it is.......it's a great deal! If you're a smoker you can buy two cartons duty free.
