Crossing into Canada
Any info on crossing into Canada ? I know we can’t bring fresh fruits or veg. What about the wine and alcohol we have in RV? If we declare it all, is there a duty tax?
Best to check the Canadian customs website as the rules change. A few notes:
- Bear spray is allowed. Mace/Pepper spray is not.
- If you have any felony on your record, check first. 20yr old DUI's catch a surprising number of people who get turned away. If not recent and otherwise have a good record, you can get it expunged but need a lawyer and not cheap (not a problem we have but meet and heard of several).
- Just because someone was allowed in with ***** or they didn't as about ******, doesn't mean you will get away with it and if you get caught lying, expect to have your rig torn apart to confirm you don't have more.
We crossed into Canada 4 times last year on our Alaska trip and they were friendly and polite. Only thing we lost were 3 eggs but that was crossing back into Montana.
