How much cigarettes and booze are you allow to buy, at the SJ duty free, when you enter Costa Rica.

cheers,

They have never said anything to me about what I have purchased. SJO has a duty free store in baggage claim, it's great. Last time I got 4 liters of Grey Goose for $112.00. I have seen some of the Taca pilots leaving there almost needing a dolly to carry out all their booze, I don't think anyone gives a damn really but I am sure there is some sort of limit.

Limit is 5 liters but have never seen it enforced. That does not mean it is not I just have never witnessed anyone carrying obviously more the 5 liters hassled.

The 5 liters is coming into CR. U.S. law is much more restrictive about how much you can bring into the U.S. and enforcement is more diligent.

exactly. sorry if that wasn't clear. going back i think it depends what airport. when the agent said 1 liter next time she sort of shrugged her shoulders. i wonder what happens if they want to mess w you. more tax? or maybe they take it.

I have purchased more than a case of Flor de Caña at the duty free in baggage claim on more than one occasion and have not had any problems.
