Itinerant Trip through US

[Glazier1]

We are traveling from eastern Canada back home to western Canada. Am wondering if we use a route through the US, what do we do for declaration of our new wine collection and other alcohol when we cross the border to US and then back to Canada?
I can't seem to find anything on the Government websites other than declaring and paying duties at each crossing. That wouldn't make sense right?

I'm in the "ship it" group. You don't say how much you have but when you say "wine collection and other alcohol" it sounds like it's quite a bit. There may be laws concerning what might be considered "intent to distribute".

I would ship it home or to a good friend near home rather than pay duties 2x and risk issues at either border. Find a good UPS or equivalent to box and ship.

Do you mean 'Trip Itinerary'?

Itinerant means to travel from place to place. Here it's being used somewhat as a descriptor.

It might be cheaper to ship it home.

If it's over the (small) duty-free limit, then yes, you have to pay duties and any applicable taxes each crossing since you're considered to be importing it into the country.
