So Dick, what happens if/when you open the seal and actually drink some of
the wine?

Subject: T&T: Canadian Customs
We have been through Canadian Customs many times and usually pack 6-7 cases
of wine for our summers in Alaska. The procedure we follow is to declare
the wine and then place it in a locked deck box. The customs official then
places a seal on the deck box which technically can be inspected anytime we
are still in Canadian waters. We have actually had to explain this
procedure to several different Customs officials as they were not familiar
with it. It seems like the last thing they want to do is the paperwork that
would be involved with paying duty on the wine.
Another method we used when we were going to be on someone elses boat in
Alaska was to have cases shipped by barge from Seattle.
I agree that BC makes some good wines and that they can be purchased for
a very reasonable price in BC. Prices of wines in SE Alaska are quite a bit
higher than in Washington and while you can find higher end wines in Sitka,
Juneau and Ketchikan, the variety of good under $10 daily drinkers is
limited.
