Shipping my belongings including wine - which legislation?

[jonathanpety 0]

I should receive my CR1 visa in a month or so and of course I am preparing the shipment of my belongings. I have 25 bottles of wine I'd like to bring along with me. I'll be sending all those stuff by plane (in a big wooden crate) to Boston where I'll be waiting at the custom.

Is there anyone who did the same? How did it happen? What was the tax on each bottle? What is the limit for a personal use, of course? And if you have more info, links and whatever about this topic, please let me know!

Thanks,

Jonathan

You are better off contacting CBP directly. The limits and excise on alcohol is never all too clear.

I shipped a case of port wine and paid like $1.15 per bottle customs. About 3 years ago...
