AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums Talk Belize Travel Can you buy booze from the airport and take it San

Thanks for the replys. So as far as I can tell, we can buy 4 bottles each and save lots of money at the resort. What a deal.

maybe... Maybe each of you ought to score 4?

Four bottles from the duty free shop in the international arrival area is correct. For whatever reason (a political deal, I guess) the local purchase supersedes the rule about 1 liter that can be brought into the country duty-free. It is a good deal, given high imported booze cost in Belize.

BUT so far as I know you can't buy duty-free from the shops in the departure area and take to San Pedro or other domestic destinations. Only from the arrival duty-free shop. The duty-free shops in the departure area are for international departures -- they bring your booze to you as you board your international flight.

You can get 4 bottles of booze and if you are a smoker 3 cartons of cigarettes per person to take to San Pedro. This is duty free and has to be purchased at the duty free in store which is located right by the baggage claim before you go through customs. By the time you are done shopping your luggage should be on the carousel.

Came through last weekend. I bought 2x750ml bottles of tequila in Miami as I wanted a particular brand and thought I might not be able to get it at the Belize airport. I was then able to buy a further 3 litre bottles of vodka in Belize so a total of 4.5litres/5 bottles. They did have the tequila I wanted at the same price as in Miami.
Breezed through the red channel, while the Nothing To Declare was choked up with a couple of college groups, and Tropic now take the bottles from you when you check-in and give them back to you as you board the plane, so no need to try and squash them into an already very full suitcase!!

Gotta love the customer service at Tropic Air.

Party at gecko girls' house!!!!

Wow, its going to be a great 2 weeks in Belize. No more bringing booze from the states. What a deal

Do they have much of a selection of wine??

Why buy wine when you can buy Booze?
