| Yeah I know: there's plenty there. But this is my friends favorite brandy (made here in Portland) and I am bringing it for her birthday. Will I be able to bring this in my luggage? I leave next Saturday. |

Yes, but you may want to check if you can get it at the airport, duty-free.
Interesting, a friend of mine is coming here from Portland Friday... |

No, I mean you may get it cheaper at the airport. Call and see what is available in the duty-free shop.
I doubt you will have to pay a tax on one bottle even if you don't buy it duty-free.

okay, I found it:
| Quote: |
| US $400 worth of goods will be allowed to enter Korea duty free. It excludes tobacco or alcohol. For example, cameras, electronic equipment, leather goods, perfume concentrate, jewellery, watches, sporting goods, etc. Most personal items such as new clothing, footwear, articles for personal hygiene/grooming. And 1 litter of alcoholic liquor (including wine, beer or spirits) for travelers aged 20 years and over. Tobacco - 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars and 250g tobacco products other than cigarettes, for travelers aged 20 years and over. |

| Yes, you can bring the one bottle. I am saying it might be cheaper to buy it at the airport. |
