Nancy Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Looks like we've finally got a date to move to oz... Everything going to plan should be May next year. Paul's been putting a couple of bottles away for a special occasion got a collection of malts and blended about 1500 quids worth of the nice stuff... He was hoping to take with us.. Does anybody know if it's worth it for what you pay in tax or should I put him out his misery and tell him to open them and enjoy them here.

Weedolly Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I don't know how much you would pay in duty, but you can bring 3 70cl bottles each in your luggage(only adults) as long as you declare it on your landing card. That should help ease the pain if he cant bring it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weedolly Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 My MIL replenishes our stock everytime she comes out, a couple of times a year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 You can bring as much as you like. If you google ATO allowances it will tell you the tax amounts. Have to say the good stuff is fantastically expensive here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Meant to add. Make sure it is in your checked baggage and obviously well protected. Otherwise in the connection it may be confiscated due to the limit on carrying liquids. My wife was bring me a very nice bottle of scotch from the uk and had it confiscated in Dubai.

odies Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 this is useful to know. as when trying to buy in august in dubai I could only but 1 bottle and i pack of cigarettes as the allowance had changed to bring into Oz. Am I right in thinking then if it is in your checked luggage I can bring more ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 The duty free allowance is 2 liters of scotch. In dubai, they should let you buy this and normally pack it and put it in the hold and you collect it with your bags on the conveyor in Perth - I go through dubai a lot including tonight. Anything above this needs to be declared. Cigs are another matter. You can only bring in 2 packs. Note, that's packs not cartons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
