Importing Scottish Cheese

[Alastair]

I ordered some cheese from Scotland for Christmas presents and it had to go through Canadian customs which is normal. BUT what wasn't normal is that I have been charges 245.5% import tax!!!

I remember we had an exchange about not being able to find Scottish cheese in Canada and Australia and I guess that is the reason if Australian rates are anything like that.

That's just ridiculous.

Protectionism for Canadian cheese.
But it IS an amazing amount.
Don't try to import any whisky, CRA will confiscate and destroy it...
You can only request the LCBO to get it for you.

Re: Importing Scottish Cheese

Is there a minimum order for importing whisky through the LCBO?

I think I might and I can always add an article about it to the Electric Canadian site.
