We are planning a trip soon to Tahiti to do some diving. Does anyone
know if there are any rules about bringing alcohol to Tahiti? If you
know of a site that could give me that info, I would appreciate it.

From the tourist page:
==========================================================

Upon your arrival in French Polynesia, you must declare all goods you
are carrying with you and pay the relevant duties and taxes to the
customs office.

No duties or taxes to pay

You can profit from the following franchises per person :

* 200 cigarettes or 100 cigarillos or 50 cigars or 250 grams of
smoking tobacco
* 2 bottles of alcohol, champagne or wine
* 1 bottle of perfume (50 g) and 1 bottle of Eau de Toilette (1/4 l)
* 500 grams of coffee
* 100 grams of tea

I suppose, as usual, they won't let a person swap out the perfume, Eau de,
coffee and tea for a good bottle of booze or two.

I guess I'll just have to do what I usually do and fill my empty perfume
bottle and Eau de with some good scotch.


Nevertheless, alcoholic beverages and tobacco are not permitted for
people under the age of 17.
