Many duty free shops also have food courts, travel centers, GST Rebate services, business services, including faxes, telephones, photocopiers and telecommunication ports for laptop computers.

Duties & Taxes Charged for Exceeding Personal Allowances:
If you exceed your duty free allowances and exemptions entering the U.S. the following approximate US duty and tax rates may apply.

• US $2 - $3 per bottle of liquor
• US $1.30 per case of beer
• US $3.90 per carton of cigarettes
• US duty rates on purchases exceeding 1 liter of alcohol are assessed according to alcohol content.

Best Buys at Duty Free Shops in Canada:

Liquor, including spirits, wine and beer, in Canada is significantly more expensive than in the United States, so Americans going to Canada for a visit may want to stop at duty free for liquor that they will consume while in Canada.

For example, 40 oz of spirit is as low as US$17. The same bottle would be more than double that price if bought in Canada.
