Bringing back stuff!

[jennifer]

Hi!
I am going to ask at the airport to make sure, but I figured if any of you knew it could help a lot!
I know you can only bring back to Canada about 1 L of beer, that's what it says on the Canadian government site anyways..
I was wondering if it was possible to bring back a little more and pay the taxes...
What do you think? Am I totally off track?
If I can, do you know about the fees I may incur?
Well hey...ain't going to the best beer place in the world for nothing, I'd like to have my dad and my ex taste this fabulous beer like I brought back last year!

Last year I accidentally brought back 2L of vodka, instead of the 1.14L that we are allowed to bring back into Canada. I declared it on the form, and the customs agent saw that, but just waved me through without having me pay anything extra.

I don't suppose you can count on that happening, though.

Hi!
I must admit I do not want to take the chance, i guess i'll just ask at the airport, too bad nobody knows though!

Anyone know what the rules are for bringing back alcohol to America?

1 L booze, 200 cigs......duty free....believe 'wine' falls into it's own class and think you can bring 4 L of that.....I'll go check and get back to you




nope....1 L alcohol duty free of any kind

here's the link for full explanation:

Thanks alot! I'm going to try to avoid buying cigarettes in Europe. If i remember correctly, in France at least, they were very expensive.

About 3.60 euro most everywhere.....UK was the highest I encountered, Poland the cheapest. Big budget buster where ever you are. ;D
