Duty??? I think not. We have free trade.
Unless it was liquor from a foreign source you pay EXCISE TAX, then sales tax. In the case of some provinces, Ontario, for example there is a "border crossing fee" .... in Ontario's case $15.00 a bottle.
Because the carry products NOT MADE IN THE USA ....
It costs money to change the sign and as this thread proves most of us don't understand that the concept of "free trade" applies to us, as well as business.
