You can claim goods worth up to CAN$800 without paying any duty and taxes. You must have the goods with you when you enter Canada. You can bring back up to 1.5 litres of wine or 1.14 litres of alcoholic beverages or up to 8.5 litres of beer.

Yes, you can bring liquor into Canada in 2026, but the amount you can bring in duty-free is strictly limited. According to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), if you have been outside of Canada for at least 48 hours, you are allowed to bring in one of the following: 1.14 liters of spirits (liquor), 1.5 liters of wine, or up to 8.5 liters of beer/ale. If your trip was shorter than 48 hours, you have no duty-free allowance for alcohol and must pay the full taxes and duties on any bottle you bring across the border. You must also be of the legal drinking age in the province you are entering (either 18 or 19, depending on the province). If you choose to bring more than the duty-free limit, you are legally allowed to do so (up to 45 liters for personal use), but you must declare it and be prepared to pay significant provincial and federal fees, which can often double the price of the bottle. Always remember to be honest with your customs declaration, as failing to report alcohol can lead to its seizure and a permanent record.
