Thank you both for your help!

IS it for personal use or is it a trade?

Hi madzibit,

Personal use - thanks for your help.

Regards.

Shall we have a pool on whether that works with the customs authorities.?

I think they tax you on the vlaue of the wine, then again how r they gonna know the value..

I am in an unusual position of knowing just such a person who did this job in another country. They know and for cases they can use this new thing called the internet..

I doubt it in Sri Lanka..but if they do I will be glad.
