3 days....I have driven to Cleveland for the last time for the month of July. I do however get to drive to Gnaden on Friday and immediately travel the same path back on our way to Canada but that is another story. I should just be happy I am getting my pepperjack cheese. There are no rules about how much cheese you can bring into Canada but there is for beer so here it goes.
Each person of legal drinking age is allowed 5 cases of beer so if we assume 3 adults in Bob's Truck, 4 West Virginians in Larry's, 2 in Steve's truck and 4 in Troy's:
Bob's truck should be packed with 12 cases allowing three duty free purchases.
Larry's truck should be packed with 16 cases allowing for 4 duty free purchases
The van should have 8 cases allowing for the 4 duty free purchases and then some.
Dad's truck, housing the non-compliant passport holder, will have only the duty free purchases for those adults.
This is the method I suggest that would cause the least chance of hassle at the border.

One West "Virgin"ian in Larry's truck is only 19. Problem?
ReplyDeleteI think we have 12 beer drinkers on this trip. That adds up to 36 cases of beer. How many do you have in this formula? Why not put all we can I'm Dad and Larry's trucks. That would be 30 or 35 if we put four adults I'm Larry's truck. I think the fewer guys stopping to pay duties and get checked the better.
ReplyDeleteBecause you can only bring in 45 liters (5.28 cases) per person regardless of what you are paying tax on. So if there are 3 adults in Bobs truck, we can only have 15 cases go in with that vehicle. If we put another in his truck while crossing we can go to 20 and 20 but that is still including what we buy at the duty free. That was the problem Bob ran into last year was that they had more than their allowed amount and instead of taking all the beer, they just charged them tax on 10 cases or something like that.
ReplyDeleteBernie - The 19 year-old West "Virgin"ian is not a problem. You can bring beer across if you are legal drinking age in Canada. Which is 19.
