is the end of an era for me. I finally left California in May 2009 to repatriate me in Canada. Finally, almost as many of my wines collected during my long stay there are still (locked in a cellar, do not be afraid!). Import a quantity of wine is quite complicated for those who are not distribiteurs tactics and it is particularly tricky at first, then the government and customs. It is better to give few details about the provenance and value of your wines. After 11 years abroad, it has memories imprecision of our purchases, we receive wine as a gift and know the price, it is not our luggage ourselves, and so on. Make discussions with the nice officer by phone and decide together on a fair tax. He sends you the paperwork for the customs officer who is suspicious of you and do not believe the small number that appears on the papers. When it asks you if the wine is homemade, do not think the bottles of Domaine de Chevalier (thank you Anne and Oliver!) If packed carefully, as you look at the customs and behold, if the slightest smile on your face, this may be the end ... or not.
You answer honestly you are not vintner.
When his more experienced colleague happens after he asks questions, stay calm. Even if it can open your boxes, if he wants, he can not do anything except to accept your payment. Because it has no jurisdiction over the importation of spirits, provided that you have the papers of the government department which is the only organization authorized to import and distribute wines British Columbia hotel. It is best placed to determine a customs taxes on wine because that's his job.
Weakness? I would say yes but I know there will be full of opportunities to pay taxes on excessive wine in Canada.
And you all right?
