Crossing into Canada

[Tammyfaust]

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 go to the Customs website. These rules are pretty much always in flux.

Over the last few years, I’ve seen problems with unpeeled potatoes, uncooked poultry products and fishing bait going into Canada. The poultry is a bird flu control measure.

The rules change in response to things that are going on, so check shortly before you cross for the latest.

In Aug 2023 they only asked if we had any guns or fire wood

The items they asked me about at the border last time were:

• Firewood
• Guns
• Pepper Spray
• Bear Spray

I thought it was funny when we returned into the US and they asked us if we bought any liquor in CA. I told them we'd have to be the world's dumbest smugglers to buy overpriced liquor in Canada and smuggle it back into the US where it's cheaper.

The border agent laughed, and then he confiscated my firewood. 😂

If you get a chance watch Happily Ever Hanks on YouTube. They are full time RVers and just had an episode on crossing into the Canadian border

Good question? I’m looking forward to the replies. What about pets & firearms too?
