<VV> Re:Crossing Canadian border

[Gary Swiatowy]

All this talk about crossing the Canadian border you have missed the best 
part.
On the way back be sure and stop at the duty free store.............
Discount tax free jewelry, perfume, etc...........
You can bring back a couple bottles of liquor per person, "duty free".
Actually you are supposed to pay the duty unless you are in Canada longer 
than 48 hours..........
But US Customs generally feels it costs more to process the paperwork and 
collect the "duty' than to let it go.
I always tell them at the border, a couple liters per person, or case of 
beer.
They let me go...........even if they did have me pull over and pay, the 
savings is significant enough to make it worthwhile anyways.
Those of us living near the border, find it worth the toll to cross the 
bridge for a liquor run.........works especially well on "top shelf" 
items...............

They also have discount cigtarettes, but don't bring over any of those cuban 
cigars...........they're still considered contraband.
