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.
TSA limits the amount of liquids that can be brought onto the plane in your carry-on with its 3-1-1 rule. This includes cosmetics in liquid form such as eyeliner, nail polish, foundation and moisturizers. It also includes perfume. The rule states that any liquids must be in a resealable container that is 3.4 ounces or less and that all containers must fit in one clear, plastic, resealable 1-quart-sized bag. You will need to take this bag out of your carry-on luggage when passing through airport security.
