Best way to do that is carry on a flight as you can carry up to 5 liters duty free.
The USPS no longer has global ground mail which will make air mailing booze crazy expensive.
You can mail to the US via ground really cheap from Korea and other countries, but not from the US to the world as USPS quit offering ground service. |

| What about using DHL or something equivalent? Would that work? I havent had booze sent to me, but i am thinking of getting a family member to send some as a present to a friend. |

It's illegal to ship booze using the USPS.

| Other items, such as alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, liquor), are not considered hazardous but are prohibited and boxes displaying such markings are also prohibited. |
Other carriers prohibit shipping alcohol without a license. Check www.google.com for restrictions. |

If it were easy to ship alcohol from overseas, you wouldn't have duty free shops.
Your best bet would be to find someone going overseas to buy you that bottle of liquor you want. |

yeah, its only 1 liter. I got away with bringing in 2 liters because I told the customs guy they were presents. |

| I'd like to know, because there's this distillery in Nova Scotia that makes some pretty tasty single malt whiskey, and I'm not going home for a year. |
