As I was standing in the lineup his superior came up to me and said "You're in here for only this beer?" he then proceed to tell his subordinate agent off, and went ahead and sent me on my way, no taxes charged.
Avoid the young cats if you can. | Had that happen to me a few years back. Day trip, four people in the car, about $200 each of clothes, no booze nor smokes. New guy sent us in. The guy at the counter looked at the sheet, asked about booze and cigs. Sighed and ripped up the form from the booth guy and told us, "have a nice day."
With CBSA previously being Canada Customs and Revenue Agency pre 2003, guessing there's still a lot of upper management and corporate identity for collecting duties, depending on the individual districts' focus.
Anecdotally, I've heard CBSA out in Ontario are way more duty and tax focused.

So now I buy groceries along with a couple of Jerry cans, and when border guards ask what I'm bringing back, I just say groceries and gas. Majority of the time never asked for the amount.

I've never been taxed for gas iirc. But I usually only do 3x 25L to be safe. And always a separate transaction - just in case.

I just came back from PR... 1.65cdn/L at Shell... 1.55cdn/L at Can-Am.
Chevron only lists USD prices so I'm unsure, but I think it was $1.3x something...

I’ve been getting gas from there for years and years whenever I happen to be down, never had any troubles.
I can’t say for sure but I get the feeling only 1 tanker truck actually visits PR lol….

Is shipping tires to Point Roberts ok?
I plan to pick them up and drive back over.
Also, does anyone know the best rates for tires? I used to use 5D packages but I guess I can't go there anymore since I would have to cross over through Peace Arch

Tires are kinda shitty to ship to PR…
In/Out charges $3.75 per tire and have to pick up during office hours unless you make an arrangement with them to put it in their big locker on a particular date.
P2P charges $5 per tire.
Shell station is $4 a tire.

Both In/Out and P2P are $3.75usd a package now.
5D in Blaine is only $1... that said, at least for me, Blaine is much farther and the lineups are invariably much longer (non-Covid times that is)

Do you need to set up an ArriveCAN account to get back into Canada?
Just want to pick up tires and fill up gas. Go there, come back, 30 mins. Hoping to have no hassles. Any thing I need to prepare in advance?

| PR needs double vaccination (they don’t really ask for proof ever but be prepared to show the federal travel certificate if need be) and yes, you must fill out ArriveCAN.
You do not need a test… but you may receive a take home one when you come back which is definitely a hassle.

Blaine still a no-go for package pick ups, right? Haven't seen any new developments, but just wanted to confirm.
