Skarredmind Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Just mail a bunch back to your friends and family as gifts...But Chinamon pretty much hit the nail on the head... The other thing is it really will depend on WHERE you are going in the states if you want suggestions on places to shop... last time I checked, we were a pretty large country if you're going to be in Seattle it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have suggestions for places to shop in New York or Philadelphia ;-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestormakhno Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Actually, be really careful with import, because there's a twenty-five-thousand-dollar fine for bringing any of the following:1.) Plants2.) Seeds3.) Meat4.) Animal productsThey could consider the tobacco a plant. In terms of duties, check a website. These laws change all the time. What I know for sure is that you can import two cartons of cigarettes, two liters of alcohol, and five thousand dollars a head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Tobacco isn't classified as a plant, I wouldn't think. I know lots of people that bring cigarettes into the US all the time...why wouldn't we be able to take tobacco into Canada?P.S. post #6000 for me.

chinamon Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 here is something for canadians to read about duty free allowanceshttp://www.dutyfree.ca/customs.aspkeep in mind that the amount in CAD$ does not mean the amount of tobacco/alcohol that you are allowed to bring back tax-free. that number is for other goods such as clothing, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akkbar Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 when i went on my honeymoon to mexico, i asked and got a sheet detailing whats what.they have different allowances for cigarettes, cigars, 'loose' tobacco (i bought some pipe baccy down there), and tobacco sticks.shisha counts as loose tobacco... keep that in mind. you can actually bring quite a bit back... sorry i dont have the exact figure.

jeffg Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hello,Be careful, Customs into Canada only allows 250 grams worth of tobacco no matter how much your limit is or how long you are out of the country. I went for a day to the states and had 300 grams and was charged 20 bucks (cdn) for the 50 grams extra.Here in Montreal, 250 grams of Nakhla tobacco goes for around 50 bucks, after duty.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
