Liquor Bulletin
June 6, 2025
As directed by the Government of Alberta, AGLC will resume accepting liquor products from the United States, effective immediately.
All products with the United States as the country of origin when registering liquor product with AGLC and declared to Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will be included in the resumption. Liquor agencies will be allowed to enter Advanced Shipping Notices (ASNs) with CLS for U.S. liquor products and schedule booking appointments.
In accordance with the Canada Border Services Agency’s United States Surtax Order, Customs Notice 25-10: United States Surtax Order (2025-1) products that were shipped from the U.S. after March 4, 2025, will continue to be subject to a surtax in the amount of 25 per cent of the invoice price upon importation. AGLC will be recovering the surtax amount at the time of customs clearance.
