Duty-Free Exemption Doubles
 Effective
in October 2002, the amount of duty-free merchandise travelers may now
bring back to the US after traveler internationally doubled from $400
to $800. The exemption applies to US residents returning from a stay of
at least 48 hours outside the country and is for personal items that are
in the traveler’s possession upon entering US Customs. Items sent
separately cannot be included in the exemption. As before, each adult
may claim one liter of alcoholic beverages and 200 cigarettes or 100 cigars
on their exemption form. For more details, visit www.customs.gov/travel/travel.
