Good day,

Anyone knows the procedure or would you be allowed to skybox a bottle of alcohol from abroad?

Why you wasting USD on alcohol ?

They have 100s of so-called "liquor marts" all over T&T.

i believe you need a special license to import alcohol. you can check aeropost though cuz i think they import alcohol on certain days. i this also applies to alcohol based perfumes as well.

Where and what kind.

BTW I know there is a good liqour mart in Sando close to Parts world somewhere just of Rushworth Street. He was willing to import alco last time I asked him out of curiosity. Obviously you will have to pay his marked up price and all that.

What you running from bai ?

The chemical that's taken all the blame for absinthe's hallucinogenic reputation is called thujone, which is a component of wormwood.

In very high doses, thujone can be toxic. ...
