Thanks. So that begs the question -- if you can shop duty-free after clearing U.S. Customs, how do they know whether you've exceeded your allowance? As someone who will have been in Canada for a grand total of two hours that day, I will only be entitled to bring 150 mL of alcohol back into the United States, rather than the normal 1 L allowance. If I try to buy a full-size bottle of liquor at the YUL duty-free, will I be barred or forced to pay duty on it?
