I'm in the States for Thanksgiving (yay!) and my aunt has offered us three 1 litre bottles of scotch to take back home to the UK. I understand that we can each take 1 litre duty free with us, but what about the third? I would just leave it here and pick it up for the next trip, which I still may do, but I don't know when we might get to come back to the States.
We will have the following for alcohol (assuming we bring everything back):
3 - 1 litre bottles scotch (around 40%)
1 bottle of still white wine (12% I believe)
I also have a mostly full 75cl bottle of Glenlivet (40%) that I'd like to bring back as well if possible (in a vacuum seal bag in the event of a spill).
Can someone please break down the duty/customs/VAT that will be charged if we take all of this back with us please? I've read through the HM Revenue & Customs website, but I still can't figure out how the rates are figured for our exact case.
Thank you!
Emily
