I'm not a lawyer but I understand that it is only illegal to SELL absinthe in the US, but legal to buy and consume it, and so companies like eabsinthe.com ship personal orders to the US and guarantee refund if a consignment is lost or seized.
This online merchant that will ship absinthe to US customers from the UK - see http://www.eabsinthe.com
Why? Presumably as a result of the health scare raised over absinthe when it was banned in France and a number of other countries.

Is Absinthe Legal?
In the United States, Absinthe is not a controlled substance but its sale in bars and liquor stores is banned. Absinthe is still however legal to purchase and possess in the United States . In most of the European Union, Absinthe may be sold as long as it stays at 10mg of thujone. In Canada, Absinthe is completely legal, and on sale in some liquor stores.

interior the U.S., classic Absinthe is illegitimate to promote for human intake because it contains the chemical thujone it really is banned by skill of the FDA to be utilized in meals yet allowed in some herbs properly-known to include thujone (identify 21, financial disaster one million, area 172.510). some kinds of absinthe are bought interior the U.S. which include no thujone. different absinthes are imported into the U.S. inspite of FDA guidelines using, what I understand to be, a loophole interior the regulation. it really is illegitimate to promote genuine absinthe interior the U. S. therefore transactions should be processed in different international places and then the product ought to correctly be shipped on to the customer.

Yes, but it you buy it in the UK and take it in your carry on luggage, you can get a bottle back into the US without a problem.
