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 Transportation Security Administration devised the 3-1-1 Rule for liquids in carry-on luggage. The rule states that you can bring as many 3.4-ounce bottles as will fit into a 1-quart bag, and there is a limit of one bag per ticketed passenger.The bag must be made of clear plastic with a zip-close top.ottles of liquid larger than 3.4 ounces must be put in checked luggage. The exception to this is items you have declared or have purchased once you have passed through security such as bottles of water or liquids from duty-free shops such as perfume or liquor.
