    Help please; I hope this is the right place for this question.
    Is it legal for me to send a bottle of whiskey to the USA (by normal air post?)
    Thanks in advance.

    Just send them $30, Irish Whiskey is probably cheaper in the US than it is in Ireland. Jameson costs me about €19.60 for a litre bottle here in France. Mad or what?

    No hassle solution is find a website in the USA where you can buy the bottle and have them send it out.

    Probably cheaper in the long-run too.

    €19.60 sounds like a lot in france. Last time I was there, it could be got in the supermarkets for €16

    That's a litre bottle, a regular bottle is about €14.80.

    The cheapest I saw today (when I went looking for a bottle) was €17:80

    Good old French inflation (while wages drop!) :)
