Just wondering if anybody knows how much alcohol is an international traveller allowed to bring into Korea without having to pay duty on it?
Cheers! |

Hi,
I'm from Canada and the limit is 1 bottle of wine or 1 bottle of hard liquor - larger size, in Canada. If I remember correctly, Korea has the same limit as most countries - 1.
But remember if you are coming from the US, Canada, UK, etc., you can no longer carry any liquids in your carry on baggage - that pertains to liquor too. Do you trust it not to break in checked luggage? |

| Between Europe and the US it's 2 bottles of wine + 1 bottle of spirits. When I lived in France I used to pack wine into my checked luggage all the time. Just put the bottle into a large sock and pack it between clothing. |

As much as you can sneak past customs. Get creative - you're allowed two checked bags and two carry-ons (technically one, but I always have two). Never had a problem. |

I second that. I never see customs stopping anyone. If you're that worried about it, you can just bury the bottles deep into your bag. |
