Hi all,

I've looked at a few different sources, and they all seem to have different information. What can we bring back from Aruba in terms of food? My family in the US adores the Stroop Wafels (who doesn't?) and I"m afraid to stock up if customs is going to take it away. We're also interested in bringing back some rum.

Can someone point me to a resource?

Thanks,

Asya

How about alcohol? We're only planning on checking 1 bag.

you can pack alcoholic beverages in your luggage.
pack carefully with much cushioning and bubblewrap.

here is a link about the how much you can bring back duty free.

What are stroop waffles? Do you buy them at the grocery store frozen or something?

click above link
the stroopwaffel cookies are found in the cookie aisle at lings and at super food and probably the other grocery stores too.
also found at the shops in the duty free shopping area of the airport.
(but much less expensive at grocery stores)
