bringing alcohol to cayman
does anyone know the duty costs if we exceed the 1l per person allowable? i have searched and haven't found anything. thanks!
you can find it at https://cbc.gov.ky/images/documents/customs-tariff-law-2017-revision.pdf chapter 22, which starts on page 48 tariffs range anywhere from $2/litre to $16/litre, depending what you are bringing in - some of them are a pecentage.
Actually, under the California Implied Consent/Admin Per Se laws, you may have something to worry about. I would do two things if I were you: 1) check with the California DMV to make sure your driving status is still good so that you don't add to your sitaution by getting a driving on a suspended license charge; and 2) contact a local DUI lawyer for a free consultation to make sure you haven't missed anything (doesn't mean you have to hire anybody... just call so you know for sure rather than relying on this forum). See the source below for information on the CA DMV and implied consent for DUI cases. There are also links on that page to all of the relevant official CA DUI guides. Good luck with your case. hi, jeanie! congratulations on your upcoming disney cruise -- it really is a dream-come-true vacation for my family and me. i can't wait for you and yours to have a turn to sail! once you've paid for your cruise reservation in full, you've covered the large majority of your on board expenses -- most meals, entertainment and accommodations. there are a few extras for which you might want to budget: alcoholic beverages, smoothies, specialty coffee drinks and a few room service items adult dining at remy or palo treatments and services at the spa or salon port adventures pre-packaged snacks at the buena vista theatre and walt disney theatre photos purchased from shutters photography services arcade games internet usage and cell phone plans gratuities & tips hair braiding souvenirs laundry services or guest laundry usage for the six of us, i usually count on spending about $1,000 extra in addition to our cruise fares -- if that helps you plan. have a wonderful day and a magical vacation. bon voyage! andi hi margaret! i don't like to carry lots of cash on my walt disney world vacations, so it's always a good idea to budget for tips ahead of time. typically, the rule of thumb for bell services or porters that will be helping you with your luggage is $1 per a bag, for any particularly heavy or cumbersome bags i would suggest $2.for mousekeeping (housekeeping) i will typically leave $1 per a person per a day. there are lots of wonderful templates for mousekeeping envelopes that you can make before your trip, i make these ahead of my trip so i'm not scrambling for tip money on my way out the door each morning. other places that you will need to tip is for table-service restaurants, typically 15%-20%, although if your party is 6 or more you will automatically be charge 18% gratuity. if you plan on taking advantage of any of disney's spas, you will also typically add a 15%-20% tip for your services as well. any cast member that has gone out of their way to make your trip extra special also, in my opinion, deserves a tip. the only exception to this is cast members within the parks, they are not allowed to accept tips, but feel free to let someone know of your wonderful experience. i hope this helps, margaret and please let me know if you need anymore advice or have any questions! happy planning! mandy excess baggage on your flight home is often the best, most practical, and almost cheapest option, depending on airline. for postal service which is usually the cheapest, there is maximum size / weight restriction. for sea freight, you have to find a freight forwarder, usually located somewhere outside tourist area. you have to pay for pick up, or deliver the bags yourself to the forwarder. there is also the issue of minimum charge, additional packaging, ... ok if all taxes should be equal why does new york have 8.5 sales tax in some counties and 7.25 in other counties? i mean shouldn't it all be fair. plus new yorker's have an additional tax of approximately 32 cents per gallon that other states don't have so shouldn't they have to get rid of that. i mean that isn't fair to new york state filling station owner's. 

see none of it is fair. you pick and choose where you live and you pay the taxes. you decide where you buy from and whether local or off the internet. this is just another way for the government to get more of your dollars and has nothing to do with being fair to other businesses here are opinions and answers from faq farmers: * there are probably different laws in different states, but in kansas you show the sales tax receipt when you register the vehicle. if you did not pay sales tax to the seller, the county clerk will collect it then. * no. the buyer probably will. * i believe that in most states when you go to register the car as the buyer you will pay sales tax on the purchase price equal to the sales tax rate of the county you live in. * sales tax is a state tax and laws and rates do vary. cars (like real estate) are, by the very nature of values involved, frequently handled under special rules. generally, just like if you buy say a used washing machine from a business, that business will collect the sales tax. with cars, if you don't buy it from a business, when you go the register it, the dept. of mtr vehicles will collect it for the state. if you trade a car in to a dealer, many places they can give you a credit for the value of the trade, and only charge you sales tax on the amount above it. * yes -- i just discovered yesterday that if you live in georgia, you will have to pay sales tax if you buy a used vehicle from a business. this may be the rule in other states also, even if you purchase the car from out of state. last month i flew to new york to pick up a beautiful 2003 cadillac escalade, and drove it back down here to georgia. the car was loaded with everything, and i bought it from an individual (so i thought). since i got a good price on the car compared to a dealership, and thought i would be avoiding any sales tax, i felt it was a very good deal. the only problem was that the seller had bought the car through his small business/company, in which he was a partner, and the company's name was written first above his name on the title. yesterday, when i went to the county offices to register it, i was told that i would have to pay just over $2100 sales tax at 7% (the county rate) because the car was purchased from a business (although not a car dealership). while i am very happy with the car and still got a very good price, this is a loophole that i've never run into before. so, if you think that you are buying a used car from an individual, make sure that you ask them if it was purchased and titled under the name of a small business or company they own, otherwise you may be liable for the full taxable amount. comment/clarification on above: the person above is confusing things: that the seller had it registered however he had (business name or not) makes no difference. when you buy a car from a non auto dealer, you pay the tax when you register the car. when you buy it from a dealer, (who normally handles all the registration stuff for you)...you pay him the tax to pay the state. when you buy a car for export out of the state, the tax isn't charged until you register it in the destination state (or if it is, most states will give you a credit for the tax paid, if it was done to get a temporary transit permit). as far as my previous response, i'm not confusing the matter, just reporting on what happened here with the county when i went to register the car. the fact that the vehicle was "owned" by a business is what affected the taxes. it would have been the same if the owner was in georgia or in another state. i have purchased vehicles both in and out of state, and because it was from an individual, i did not have to pay sales tax at all when it was registered. these were non auto dealers, and there was no tax owed to the county gov't. i'm not trying to create confusion, just letting you know what happened to me here in georgia. the commenter immediately above is absolutely correct. in georgia, a used vehicle purchased from an individual (whether he/she is in-state or outside of georgia) has absolutely no sales tax liability, either at the time of purchase or when the vehicle is registered in georgia. if, on the other hand, you buy from an auto dealer (either in-state or outside of georgia) they are legally obligated to collect the sales tax and forward it to the georgia department of revenue (retain proof of such payment in case they fail to do so). the only exception to this rule is if you buy from an out-of-state auto dealer who then ships the vehicle to you in georgia via "common carrier" (in other words, you don't take delivery in this other state). in that case, they have no legal obligation to collect georgia sales tax, but you will then owe "use tax" (same principle as sales tax) when you register your vehicle at the georgia dmv (the exact rate of tax may vary from county to county within georgia; you will pay the rate effective in your county of residence). if you buy from a business entity that is not an auto dealer (say a car rental firm that's selling excess inventory), whether they are in-state or outside of georgia you are still liable for the sales tax. it makes absolutely no difference whether that business is an auto dealership or not: it's whether the name on the seller's title is of an individual or a business that determines sales tax liability in georgia. in short: individual seller (in georgia or out of state) = no sales tax when registering vehicle in georgia; business seller (auto dealer or not, in-state or outside of georgia) = sales tax liable (with the one exception noted above, when an out-of-state dealer ships you the vehicle via common carrier -- then you are responsible for paying the "use tax" when you register at the georgia dmv). note: when you buy a georgia vehicle and register it in another state, you will pay the prevailing sales tax rate in that other state. thus, it doesn't make sense to travel to georgia to buy a vehicle just to avoid the sales tax. same would be true for vehicles purchased in oregon, or any other state that doesn't tax vehicle sales (unless, of course, you also live in such state). clarification: if you purchasde a used vehicle from a private owner in georgia (and you live in georgia), then you avoid paying any sales tax on the car. georgia considers this type of transaction a "casual sale " and only charges sales tax if the previous owner registered the vehicle for a business. expect to pay sales tax in georgia, however, if the previous private owner registered the vehicle for business use, or, you bought the car from a dealer. cars purchased out-of-state also incur a sales tax. for example, if you live in georgia and purchased a car in florida from a private individual, you do pay a sales tax in georgia. previous postings incorrectly state that you don't have to pay a sales tax in georgia if you bought a car from a private individual outside of georgia. it does matter! i live in georgia and purchased a new mercedes benz in florida from a private individual , i had to pay a sales tax when registering my car in georgia. you do not have to pay sales tax in ga when a car is purchased from a privaqte seller regardless of where the private seller resides. this is deemed a casual sale. please see the links below for the official documentation from the ga dept of revenue: http://motor.etax.dor.ga.gov/motor/registration/regrequirements.asp state regulation 560-12-1-.07 regarding sales tax (casual sale) http://rules.sos.state.ga.us/docs/560/12/1/07.pdf ok, has anyone noticed that the guy asking the question specifically refers to california? why is everyone discussing georgia? so frustrating! "the other insurance company is only offering to pay $15,000 because that is what the other driver's coverage limit is. in a situation like this, typically [uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage](https://getjerry.com/car-insurance/uninsured-motorist-coverage) or [collision coverage](https://getjerry.com/car-insurance/collision-insurance) on your own policy would cover this. 

however, most [car insurance](https://getjerry.com/car-insurance) carriers require that anyone who drives the vehicle be listed on the policy as a driver. while insurance does often follow the car, carriers can deny a claim if a household member, or full-time driver, is not listed on the policy or is excluded from coverage. 

it's extremely important to always list anyone who frequently drives the vehicle. insurance carriers base their rate on this and it will ensure your vehicle is always protected, regardless of who is driving. 
" having add could disqualify you with some departments, but not all. i think this greatly depends. some would consider it a liability issue. that is still 135 more than i'd pay you. Hello Rose,
