Passengers on nonstop international flights to and from the United States can take any size containers of duty free liquid on a plane. If the passenger is getting a connecting flight in the United States, but has a final destination outside the country, he cannot bring any duty free liquids over 3.4 oz.
The TSA 3-1-1 policy limits the amount of liquid permitted in carry-on luggage to a single, quart size bag filled with 3.4 oz. or smaller containers of liquid per passenger. The bag must be clear and plastic with a zip top and all liquid containers must fit comfortably inside the bag with the zipper closed.
