Can you shop at amazon.com from Canada?

Can a 19 or 20 year old purchase alcohol at a duty free shop before crossing the border into Canada?

  • I was told that because the only way out of the duty free shop on the US side of the border is to cross the border into Canada, a 19 or 20 year could purchase alcohol, even though the duty free shop is in the United States. Is this true?

  • Answer:

    Yes that's true. When Crossing into Canada you only need to be 19. Going back to the US you need to be 21. Actually - this applies for the duty free shops at Niagara Falls (between NY & Ontario). I suspect that if you crossed the border between the US and Canada into Quebec then you could be 18. (Since the legal drinking age in Quebec is 18) Call them if you are still skeptical 1-800-361-1302.

I don't think so. If the store is in the U.S. the legal age limit applies. I used to work in a duty-free store and the law still applies.

I don't think so. Just because it's duty free it doesn't mean "age" resistant, lol. You could purchase it in Canada and take it back to the US I think since it would be legal here to buy it (Ontario drinking age = 19). You couldn't purchase it in the States though if you are not 21 (or of legal age in that particular state).
