Declaring goods at customs If I am flying internationally (Grenada) and I declare that I have alcohol above the free import limit. I get that I have to pay a tax on the “imported” goods, but I guess will customs likely just search the suitcase that we present to them or are they likely to be like “well what else might you have?” and search every bag we have.

Hopefully this is why the kiddo is c…
