what is the limit of items I can bring through customs?

you can bring back as much as you like. But you only get $800 worth of goods and one bottle of booze tax free.

Items over 100 years old and works of art are exempt from tax as well.

I think your allowed 1 container of 750 ml alcohol without being taxed. You will have to declare all alcohol though. And you have to declare if your brings in more than 10,000 dollars but it won't be taxed.

Depends on the purpose of the goods. Commercial or personal or what.

That's just cash. If you bring back more than $800 of goods you can be taxed on the amount over $800.

Just declare it and be prepared to pay $$$$. Alcohol is an extremely protected commodity. Countries are constantly sueing each other over that. Did a case study in college on the U.S. during Japan for like 700 million because of freaky taxes.

Might be simpler just in general. Last time we shipped anything, it was like 50-100 for 12 cups.
