UK to YYX to DFW transit including duty free alcohol
Flying EDI to YYZ with connection to DFW. US passport and Global Entry. Not sure how customs and immigration works? Have a 4 hr layover so plenty of time. Flying J award so so believe we have access to Maple leaf Lounge also.
Question is, do we need to go through Canadian immigration on arrival and then US immigration in Toronto? Or just US immigration and how long before the US flight typically? TIA
Also, what about duty free purchases made in Edinburgh? Is there a recheck setup like in the US where we claim our checked bags and recheck to US giving us time to put the duty free in there? Or do we not even need to if bottles (scotch) are in DF bags?
