Can I bring alcohol back to the States from Japan?

Question:


I plan on going to Japan and I want to know if I buy sake there can I bring it back to the US? Is there any hassle? Also what's the drinking age there? Im 21 but Im assuming its lower than 21 in Japan.

Answer:


You can take one liter of alcoholic beverage back to the USA "duty free".. You can take more, but you have to declare the excess and pay a small tax.

Before you go to the effort of carrying anything home with you from Japan do check to make sure the brand of saki isn't sold locally (where you live).
