Hi Ladies... anyone having the same headache as me? My HTB's father is insisting to bring the duty-free hard liquor that he has been keeping, to the banquet on the wedding day, but our Hotel has advised us we are not allowed to and there is a form that we need to sign.

Clueless Oink: What if we have many bottles? My HTB's dad purposely asked his frens and relatives to buy each time when they return frm overseas, just to use them on our wedding day...

pearlypearl> strictly no duty free wine/liquor... now the hotels & IRAS & restaurants do conduct spot checks
so better be safe lor...
pearlypearl
New Member
saggiegirl> then how?? my HTB's dad is a very stubborn and bad-tempered man... we don't want to create any unhappiness too.
Can we write to the customs and request to pay tax and duty so that we can bring them on our wedding day??

Good Morning Pearly,
My parents also bought duty-free liquor each time they travels to keep for me & my bro wedding dinner in future. My mum was quite upset when I told her that we cant use these wine cause its duty-free. Their argument was that it will not be easy to differentiate duty-paid and duty-free. I had to explain to them that duty-free bottles are in specific capacity, hence everyone can identify whether its duty-free at 1 glance. I guess its the norm among the old folks around that era to buy those duty-free liquor for wedding.
Previously, my hotel coordinator suggest that we pour those wine into those duty-paid capacity empty wine bottle or to buy those empty 'big bomb' bottle (those super big size vsop bottle that we always see in bidding/auction). You might want to check if any of your friends are having their dinner recently and ask them to keep their empty bottles for you.
Another option is what you had mentioned to pay tax & duty for those wines. Its do-able as quite a number of brides had done it previously. You can refer to the links below for reference.

Pearly> No problem. If he got alot of bottles, the amount of tax/duty to pay might be quite high. By the way, what wines are those? VSOP martell? I don't know for your side, but my side seldom got people drink martell. We are considering not to serve that, just red wine, soft drinks & tea.
Emeraldbride> Yah, please take care. Rest or sleep more. My body recover faster if I sleep longer. And try to relax yourself. Think your progress is quite good, I hasn't collect my cards yet. Hee.. so don't stress yourself too much.

Shir> They are VSOP martell and cordon bleu... my HTB's father and his friends are hardcore lovers... the rest of our families and friends will only drink red wine... haa!

Pearly> I see I see. Then no choice got to serve, since he 'bought' it himself for it. Hee.. maybe serve the duty bill to him also. Just kidding.
Charmaine> Oops.. I forgotten the beer. Hee.. I just saw the tw auction link. The clothes are very nice. What currency is the amount quote? Is it Taiwan dollar? Hee.. I guess me got to go back and measure my body length and shoulder width. How much allowance to give for the winter jacket? 2cm for the shoulder? When are you going to place the order?
