So now I am really confused. If Mrs. Flaneurs and I want to bring a case of wine back from Europe can we do it? Obviously we know we will be over the duty free limits and would declare and pay any duty requested. We will be going through customs in JFK but then changing airlines and flying to Montana. Do we need to look up the rules for MT, NY or is it just the Federal Government? Is it all the above that can regulate it? Thanks for the help in advance. I thought we wouldn't have any problems as long as we were honest but this thread got me thinking about state laws potentially trumping federal laws.
