I once grabbed a bottle at Duty Free in Paris for someone in DC. My new coworkers asked me to bring one back from this trip to Israel I'm on. Looking at the US prohibited items list from the wormwood society link, and my track record of getting searched by customs agents the past few years, I dont think I'll be bringing a bottle back with me...

I realize there are some things on that list that will just get confiscated if found, and others that you could get charged with a crime for bringing. Not sure how if Absinthe is one of those things that could land u in jail or not. Anyone? (remember, we're talking US customs here).

My understanding is that Absinthe is legal for personal consumption and possession in the US but not for sale. This is to say, you can legally import it provided that you do not distribute it for profit.
