Wine that cross into Canada and back to USA.

Most wineries will ship your order. Why hassle with transporting wine across an international border twice? PS I find the Paso Robles area far more relaxing for wine tasting and purchase. And for my friends on the Central Coast...El Paso de Robles

There is no duty on anything made in the US returning to the US.
But there are issues of how much you can enter Canada with.

Any wine you buy in the US, ship home from the winery.

Thanks for the suggestion, but we will visit King Canyon and Yosemite on our way to the Redwoods in North CA so the area will be out of our way. Napa is on our route to the coast highway.

I was told (by someone) that is would cost more to ship to TN that the CN duty???????

I can't imagine having this problem unless it was just a day trip to Canada. lizzie

Liquor into Canada OR the US is regulated. One liter per person Duty Free. You can bring in as much as you like but you have to pay duty on the excess. I don't belive there is a seal that can be applied to a box or bottle.

So...wineries ship wine all the time, nationally. If you are buying a case from one place..ask them about shipping it home. Or put it on the bus in Napa..disquise it tho...use a buddies address and have them pick it up.

You are kinda hooped as far as taking BC wine into the US. The best sugestion I can make is to let me know where you are..I am in Penticton..I will come to you and ensure that your BC wine is given a good home.

The US could give a hoot about how much wine you bring home.

They don't even ask.

They may not 'ask'... but if they do? A person better have a good answer.
