Seems like the chances of it getting shipped to my door are zero.
I'll use plan B to get them then.
I will be getting my carton of Davidoffs for $25. I don't want to pay $10/pack for DuMauriers anymore. |

Try buying them online. If you don't get them and buy with a credit card file a non-receipt claim and get the $$ back. |

Have fun with customs. BTW your legal exemption for tobacco as of 2001 is ZERO. Thats right! You cant even bring a half used package of cigs with you without potentially being taxed for them.
Gotta love our "free" market eh? |
Funny, the customs card I filled out this morning said the exact opposite.
Yes, you can bring them across yourself (personal exemption), I don't imagine you can buy them and ship them without paying duties. |

| quote: | Tobacco and alcohol
You can include alcoholic beverages and tobacco products in your 48-hour (CAN$200) or your 7-day (CAN$750) exemption, but not in your 24-hour (CAN$50) exemption. All tobacco products and alcoholic beverages have to accompany you in your hand or checked luggage.
The following conditions apply:
Tobacco products
If you meet the age requirements set by the province or territory where you enter Canada, you can include up to:
- 200 cigarettes;
- 50 cigars or cigarillos;
- 200 tobacco sticks; and
- 200 grams of manufactured tobacco.
However, as of October 1, 2001, if you include cigarettes, tobacco sticks, or loose tobacco in your personal exemption allowance, only a partial exemption will apply. You will have to pay a minimum duty on these products unless they are marked "CANADA-DUTY PAID · DROIT ACQUITTÉ". You will find Canadian-made products sold at a duty-free shop marked this way. You can speed up your clearance by having your tobacco products available for inspection when you arrive.
If you bring in more than your exemption allowance, you will have to pay regular assessments on the excess amount. These regular assessments can include duties, taxes, and provincial or territorial fees. The customs officers will give an allowance for products that are marked when they calculate the amounts owing. |
In other words, unless the tax has already been paid in Canada you have to pay it yourself which means there is no more duty free smokes in Canada. You gotta love our wierd version of "democracy" |

| I bought a few cartons 3 weeks ago and no problems with customs or duty (bought them at the duty-free shop). |
