Hi,
First of all I'm from Canada and I'm new to this forum but I've been reading about cigars for a while. My friend is leaving for Cuba tomorrow and I asked her if she could bring me back some bolivar royal coronas or Juan Lopez selection no.1. My question is how does it work with the said "duty free" in Canada. I don't get it. Sometimes they say :
A special duty will apply to cigarettes, tobacco sticks or manufactured tobacco unless they are marked "CANADA - DUTY PAID ? DROIT ACQUITTÉ." Canadian-made products sold at duty-free shops are marked this way.
And sometimes they don't say this. So how does it work? Do you always have to pay a duty when you buy cigar during a trip???Thanks for your help.
