What is the limit on how much liquor you can bring into England from Duty Free?

What is the limit on how much liquor you can bring into England from Duty Free?


Someone wants 4 bottles of Jack Daniels. If I buy them at the USA Duty Free can I bring that much into England or will there be taxes to pay?|||Depends what size they are...





Alcohol allowances


You can bring in either, but not both, of the following:





1 litre of spirits or strong liqueurs over 22 per cent volume


2 litres of fortified wine (such as port or sherry), sparkling wine or any other alcoholic drink that's less than 22 per cent volume





Or you can combine these allowances. For example, if you bring in one litre of fortified wine (half your full allowance) you can also bring in half a litre of spirits (half your full allowance). This would make up your full allowance. You can't go over your total alcohol allowance.





In addition you may also bring back both of the following:





16 litres of beer


4 litres of still wine

|||There will be taxes to pay, 4 bottles will be well over a litre, however, if you're travelling with someone else then you'll be able to bring two litres (one each)
