It will all depend on what you tell them the value of the wine is. If you say it was say $2 a bottle, you would be up for 300% of the total price, however they are not interested in this! What you do is say to the customs man (if he even asks you) that you will pay duty... He will take you to the "Little Room" where a transaction will take place. This does not involve any paperwork! Usually happy with $10 -$20 bucks or 100,000rup. You then leave the room and go out the doors! No money is handled in the open. Of course you could hand over the grog and go without but the friendly customs guys will be very understanding to your suggestion to pay, always accommodating to new visitors!
