Hi all:
We are returning to Canada within the next couple of weeks, and were considering getting a few cases of wine ( Two Buck Chuck, of course)to take back with us. I am aware that this is in excess of the "duty free" quantities, wondering if anyone knows just how much "duty" we would have to pay.
I have checked out the Canada Customs website, and although the topic is mentioned, it does't really give great detail, making reference to the liquor taxes charges in the province into which you are entering
( not necessarily the one in which you reside)
We are entering into BC, but are considered residents of Alberta.
Thanks in advance for any info .

You well have to give some to the Customs guys especially if they are having a party that night.
I went to a party in a town one night on a lay over and there were some customs guys there and they had some little bottles of boozes they were drinking with our airline labels on the bottles. They were taken from our aircraft.
Thanks for buying American Wine though.
Not much of anything left, that is made here in America.....

Telephone the border crossing station you'll use, or the major crossing station nearby.
I'm free of prostate cancer for 5 years now.
All men over age 50 should get an annual PSA blood test. Mine had a low reading, but the yearly jump was significant. The biopsy showed cancer just entering the aggressive stage. Dr. Hackenslash removed it.

Forget bringing back wine over your 1 liter limit. The duties and taxes are worth more than what you would pay for the wine in Canada. I have seen some really irate people when they left the wine at the border. I have heard of people pouring it out. Your 2 buck chuck will become 12 buck real quick!!!

Another heads up when crossing back into Canada. No fruit or any vegetables are allowed. We were advised crossing at Oroville yesterday that this became effective last Dec.

Check out http://cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/pub/bsf5056-eng.html#P021 for Canadian Customs info..........
******************** Quote from above web page ***************
Alcoholic beverages
You are allowed to import only one of the following amounts of alcohol free of duty and taxes:
1.5 litres (53 imperial ounces) of wine;
1.14 litres (40 ounces) of liquor;
a total of 1.14 litres (40 ounces) of wine and liquor; or
24 x 355 millilitre (12 ounces) cans or bottles (maximum of 8.5 litres) of beer or ale.
Note
We classify "cooler" products according to the alcoholic beverage they contain. For example, beer coolers are considered to be beer, wine coolers are considered to be wine. We do not consider beer and wine products not exceeding 0.5% alcohol by volume to be alcoholic beverages.
You can bring in more than the free allowance of alcohol except in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. However, the quantities must be within the limit set by the province or territory where you will enter Canada. If the value of the goods is more than the free allowance, you will have to pay both customs and provincial/territorial assessments. For more information, check with the appropriate provincial or territorial liquor control authority before your arrival back to Canada.

I brought a case of 1.75L Scotch last year. The duty was just over $200.00. Doing the math I saved about $60.00 over the equivelent amount in Canada. I will do it again this year & report on exact figures. I will also ask them about wine.
Leaving for home on Monday.

We have for the last few years after holidaying in the states brought extra booze into Alberta. If your wine or some type similar is available in Canada then compare the price if you can to see what the difference there is. We brought 4 sixty ounce bottles of booze one time into Canada and it cost us less than 20.00. Here is a website that gives some info foryou. But be aware you will still have to pay GST and PST.

I paid 35.00 duty on 1 -40oz bottle of extra rum that cost 8.00 in Progresso,Mx and had Toronto Ont canada on the label. Oh also 5 beers. As well if your bringing in cigarettes don't bring US cigs the duty free only applies to Cdn cigs.. another 35.00 duty/txs. A friend who was over $900 on his limit also had 1 extra bottle of rum. All he paid was duty on the liquor and not the extra goods.

When we cross back into Canada, we always have a good amount of liquor with us, not bought in the Tax Free shop but we pick up liquor in Mexico and cheap bottles that we see in our travels. You are allowed to have a bar you know, because your RV is considered your home. We freely admit having a bar (just crossed over a few days ago) and never have had any problems.
