Can I bring a bottle of liquor back home in my checked luggage?

I’m on vacation in Aruba, and I bought two bottles of Aruban booze that I want to take home to the States. If i pack them in my checked luggage on my flight home, will there be any problems?

You can bring them back, but you must declare them at customs. Your checked luggage is the only place you can carry them. Abby Normal
Two restrictions:
- You can only carry 5 liters of any beverage that is between 24 and 70% alcohol, and you may not bring any alcohol that is over than 70%. This is a US rule and I assume that departure from Aruba would have similar rules.
- You have to declare them for customs when you arrive, and if you are less than 21, then they may take them away - don’t know if they commonly do or not, as I have not had to worry about the age limit for quite some time.
Other than that - no problems. Roger K
