Clarification needed please: I'm not so sure Bz Customs is going to be so lenient (or allow) with 4 bottles purchased elsewhere ( i.e. other than their own duty free) without you paying duty.

Last time I purchased the permissible 4 at the Belize Duty free I was directed to the "Declare line" and asked to show the duty free receipt. Once I did that I was on my merry way. Of course from what I saw of other people doing the same, once youre in the declare line the agents certainly didn't have any qualms about asking what was in a certain piece of luggage even if you did only go throught the line to have your 4 bottles approved.

If you are buying from the duty free in the US, you are only allowed 2 bottle each. If you buy at the incoming duty free in Belize, you're allowed 4 bottles each and the price is a lot less.

Because the prices and selection at the duty free in MIA might not be better or cheaper then at BZE, AND you can only purchase 2 bottles in MIA.

The "declare" line wants to see the receipt from the shop. Actually, I've gone through faster in the declare line than getting called over randomly from the "nothing" line. The guys know you're there(the declare line) b/c of the booze, and do a casual look through. Yes, I know you can breeze through most times.
