My husband and I would like to bring back some Balashi with us to the states. Can anyone tell us how we do that? And how much we can bring? I was reading about the DF in the airport too and am confused. Can anyone help us out?

Brought a six-pack home in checked luggage. No questions, no issue.

Thanks RobO

Would you happen to know if we could bring more? My husband who we call Rob-E would polish that off in no time LOL.

We bought back 2 six packs in our luggage and also bought 2 six packs at duty free in the airport on the way home last May!! Was fun to drink it at our 4th of July party on the beach.

I carried a case from the duty free shop at the airport.

Last year, the price at the duty free shop was $5.00 per six pack, several months later it increased to $6.00; the price is now $10.00 per six pack.

I just had some several days ago at a New Year's eve party that I hosted back in Jersey - brings back memories of the warm sun in Aruba.....

Retagger, thanks so much !! Wonder if it will change after the underwear bomber attempt. Also do you mean a case as in a 12 pack or 24 pack? MMMMM..... BALASHI

Retagger · 01-02-2010, 03:56 PM

We just came home with two six packs of Amstel Brights in glass bottles and one six pack of Balashi.

All packed in our suitcases. We do have hard sided luggage and wrap each individually with clothing and cushion in the middle.

The US Customs officer asked if we were bringing back any liquor, dh replied, "just beer" and not another questions was asked. I thought for sure he would want to know how much.

Guess he knows how much we all love Brights and Balashi
