Yes, it’s 100% legal. You can bring home up to 45 litres of liquor from the U.S. — as long as you declare it and pay duties and taxes at the border. That’s about 4 full cases per person. And you’ll still save over $600 per trip, even after paying full tax
Why this works & why it’s 100% LEGAL
When you personally travel across the border, you’re allowed to bring back up to 45 litres of liquor under Ontario’s personal import rules.
You declare it. You pay the tax. You save hundreds.
Simple as that.
